Shocking WWE name to dethrone Gunther at Bash in Berlin 2024? Chances analyzed

Gunther has been a dominant Intercontinental Champion since winning the title on the June 10, 2022 edition of WWE SmackDown by defeating Ricochet. Last month, The Ring General surpassed The Honky Tonk Man's 454-day reign and became the longest-reigning IC Champion in the company's history.

The Austrian star has been able to overcome every challenge he faced till now and remained unpinned on the main roster, but it is quite possible that he could lose his title to move on to the world title picture. However, that moment has to be huge, and it has to be someone who can match the current champion's energy and authority.

WWE recently announced its first-ever premium live event in Germany, Bash in Berlin, on August 31, 2024. Deutschland also happens to be the home country of Gunther's stablemate, Ludwig Kaiser, and it will be thrilling if Kaiser turns on The Ring General and dethrones him in front of his home crowd.

Kaiser even took to social media to react joyfully to Titanland organizing a premium live event in Germany. He will be making a record if he dethrones the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion at the very first PLE in Germany!

As of now, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci continue to appear beside The Ring General as the trio present The Imperium. While Kaiser and Vinci have shown immense loyalty towards the Austrian star, all three demand respect from their peers.

If Gunther pushes the wrong buttons, it will not be long before Kaiser turns on him and demands a title opportunity.

Gunther believes Ludwig Kaiser needs more screen time

Out of all three members of The Imperium, obviously, Gunther gets the most screen time. However, Vinci and Kaiser are superstars who bring eyes to the product and keep the fans entertained, but it's limited.

While speaking with Contralong, The Ring General revealed that Ludwig Kaiser must receive more screen time and more matches to showcase his complete potential to the fans:

"He is capable of a lot and a very charismatic guy, even with the limited amount of time that he has he found the way to stand out and I think he would really deserve a chance to get more time and more matches."

Recently, The Ring General marked 500 days as the Intercontinental Champion, which Ludwig Kaiser celebrated on social media.
