Former WWE Champion wanted to see Chad Gable dethrone Gunther for the title
Gunther became the greatest Intercontinental Champion in the company's history after he held the title for over 660 days following his move to WWE's main roster. Unfortunately, The Ring General's overconfidence cost him as Sami Zayn capitalized and won the title from him in Philadelphia.
However, Big E had other plans as he wanted to see Chad Gable win the title from the former champion. Speaking to Whatculture Wrestling, the former WWE Champion stated he wanted to see Gable finally dethrone Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL:
"The story, I just felt like the way they left it felt open-ended. It felt like, man, I don’t want this to be the end for Chad Gable on his run to dethroning GUNTHER so, that is my pick, that is who I want to see and I think so often at WrestleMania." [H/T - Post Wrestling]
After Gable's heel turn, it will be interesting to see if the star ends up capturing the title in the coming months.
