The Miz got the better of Gunther late in the segment when the two men traded fists. He delivered a low blow to the Intercontinental Champion before bringing him down with the Skull Crushing Finale.
The angle went against Miz’s new babyface character. However, it did help him establish himself as a legitimate threat to the champion.
Fans loved Gunther's mic work on WWE RAW
Following Monday night’s show, fans took to Twitter to praise the Intercontinental Champion’s promo. They were surprised at how well The Austrian was able to play a heel while helping Miz become a babyface.
Many fans called it one of the best promos of the year. Others were surprised at how well this rivalry was progressing ahead of Survivor Series WarGames.
Check out some reactions below:
The Miz has a knack for surprising the WWE Universe with some wins when they least expect it. He was the man who took the WWE Championship off Drew McIntyre in February 2021.
The WWE creative team could use The A-Lister to take the Intercontinental Championship off Gunther. He has the experience and the star power to do so without causing any damage to the Imperium leader's standing.
It will help the company move The Ring General into the world championship picture without denting its value. He needs to move into the top title picture soon.
