Chad Gable is the next in line to attempt to dethrone Gunther.
As seen on the August 7th episode of WWE Raw, Gable defeated Matt Riddle, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa to become the new number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.
The Minneapolis crowd were firmly behind their hometown hero, chanting for Gable to win and cheering loudly when the Alpha Academy member picked up the victory.
Gable was desperate to have another opportunity at The Ring General, surviving the 5 minute challenge 7 days prior.
Gunther is now closing in on The Honky Tonk Man’s record for the longest singular reign with the IC Title in WWE history. The record will be broken on September 7th, shortly after the Payback Premium Live Event.
