Gunther: ‘There’s No Man Born Yet to Take This Title Off Me’

– At last night’s edition of WWE Raw, Gunther retained his Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable. Following Raw, he spoke in a backstage interview on the victory. Below are some highlights and a video of the post-match interview:

On what’s going through his mind after the victory: “What’s going through my mind? I’m not surprised. From the moment on I won this prestigious championship, I saw the vision. I envisioned this very moment that I’m the one to redefine history, redefine the legacy of the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. I heard them talking, I heard them discussing about their childhood heroes, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Honky Tonk Man, Steve Austin, The Rock. The reality is, when that bell rings, they all can come line up and lace my boots. Because as long as I’m alive, there’s no man born yet to take this title off me again! Thank you!”

With the win, Gunther is now on track to become the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, surpassing the record previously held by The Honky Tonk Man for over 35 years.
