Gunther recently surpassed The Honky Tonk Man's 454-day reign. He is a standout Intercontinental Champion in WWE history thanks to his charismatic persona and powerful in-ring style.
Opponents like Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, The Miz, and others have been victims of The Ring General's brutal suplexes and devasting chops.
However, a potential 304-pound adversary, who has never stepped in the ring with Gunther, has seemingly set his sights on winning his first-ever singles championship in 2024.
The star in question is Ivar of The Viking Raiders faction, who has been in WWE for nearly six years. He is a former NXT Tag Team Champion and RAW Tag Team Champion. He won both Tag Titles with his partner Erik.
