After his impressive victory in the Gauntlet Match during the latest WWE RAW episode, Sami Zayn gears up for a monumental showdown against Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Zayn finds himself on the brink of seizing the Intercontinental Title from Imperium’s leader, Gunther.
However, amidst the anticipation, there looms a potential obstacle in the form of former four-time champion Chad Gable, whose allegiance could sway the outcome dramatically.
Last week’s Gauntlet Match saw Zayn and Gable as the final contenders, with the latter’s fervent desire for victory evident throughout the intense confrontation. Despite Gable’s relentless efforts, Zayn emerged triumphant, securing his spot in the upcoming championship clash.
However, Gable’s defeat might catalyze a drastic transformation as he contemplates a shift towards the darker side of his persona.
Blaming Zayn for dashing his WrestleMania aspirations, Gable could seize the opportunity to intervene during Zayn’s bout against Gunther, potentially altering the course of the match.
Having portrayed a babyface character since May 22, 2023, Gable’s potential heel turn could mark a significant evolution in his character, introducing a newfound complexity to his persona after nearly a year.
Gunther’s Perspective on Facing Chad Gable
Reflecting on the prospect of confronting Chad Gable in the WWE arena, Gunther shared his candid insights during an interview with GV Wire. The Ring General commended Gable’s prowess, acknowledging the unique challenge posed by the former Olympian.
“Every time I step into the ring with Chad, it’s a remarkable experience. As a former Olympian, perhaps one of the finest athletes, he sets an unparalleled standard in terms of speed and agility, presenting a formidable challenge,”
Gunther expressed.
While Gable may have missed out on another opportunity to vie for the Intercontinental Championship, fans can anticipate an imminent collision between these two formidable competitors in the near future.
