The WWE Universe buzzing as the Road to WrestleMania 40 heats up. Now, a new pitch has been made for Gunther's opponent.
The Ring General will possibly defend the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania in hopes of keeping his historic reign going. There is no word yet on who he will face, but a singles or multi-man match is expected. It was reported earlier how Ricochet threw his name in the hat for the potential title shot.
Gunther and The One and Only have fought numerous times since their first bout on October 20, 2017, which saw Ricochet get the win at PWG All-Star Weekend 13. However, the significance now relates to how the Imperium leader began his current reign by defeating Ricochet on the June 10, 2022, edition of SmackDown.
