The WWE Universe is abuzz as the journey to WrestleMania 40 gains momentum, with speculation swirling around potential challengers for Gunther’s coveted title.
As the Ring General gears up to possibly defend his Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania, the anticipation mounts to see who will step up to the challenge.
While the opponent remains undisclosed, fans anticipate either a singles showdown or a multi-man melee. Ricochet has already thrown his name into the mix for a shot at the title, reigniting a rivalry that dates back to their initial clash on October 20, 2017, at PWG All-Star Weekend 13.
Notably, Gunther commenced his current championship reign by overcoming Ricochet on the June 10, 2022, edition of SmackDown.
The speculation intensifies as fans weigh in on potential contenders, with many rallying behind Ricochet while others champion Chad Gable’s inclusion.
The Alpha Academy leader has been relentless in his pursuit of the title and remains undeterred in his quest to dethrone the Ring General.
Amidst the fervor surrounding potential matchups, fan reactions are mixed regarding the prospect of a triple-threat match between Chad Gable, Ricochet, and Gunther at WrestleMania 40.
