The September 11, 2023, edition of Monday Night RAW has a segment planned for Gunther’s record-breaking celebration. He recently became the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion after surpassing Honky Tonk Man’s record of 454 days. This is a much-needed celebration, considering the record was broken after 35 years.
Given WWE’s history, a celebration usually doesn’t go through without interference. Currently, one of the top picks as The Ring General’s opponent is Chad Gable. He defeated the Intercontinental Champion on August 21, 2023, but the title did not change hands because of a count-out victory.
During the celebration segment, WWE could include a massive swerve to have Gable challenge for the Intercontinental Championship, have it officially approved, and win the title. This would create an opportunity for Gable’s rise to the top as a babyface who put down one of RAW’s top heels. Of course, the Stamford-based promotion must capitalize on the momentum created to have The Ring General pursue the title again at an upcoming premium live event such as Fastlane 2023.
