Former WWE head writer Vince Russo has weighed in on the upcoming Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania XL, suggesting an unexpected twist involving Chad Gable.
Despite his recent setbacks, Gable remains a prominent figure in the championship picture, having narrowly missed out on defeating Gunther last year. In a recent Gauntlet Match on RAW, he once again fell short of securing a title shot.
However, Gable has been actively influencing Sami Zayn, warning him of the challenges he’ll face against Gunther.
During a discussion on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW, Russo shared his hopes for an intriguing turn of events in the highly anticipated championship bout.
“Is Gable gonna scr*w Sami? I hope so,”
Russo remarked.
Zayn’s journey to WrestleMania XL encountered a setback on RAW, where he suffered a defeat against Bronson Reed, mere weeks before his clash with Gunther at the grand event.
Meanwhile, Gunther has established an impressive record since his main roster debut, remaining undefeated and holding the Intercontinental Championship for over 600 days.
With his dominant reign, Gunther emerges as the favorite to retain his title at WrestleMania XL, setting the stage for an intense showdown against Zayn.
