The recent shake-up within Imperium on WWE RAW, with the expulsion of Giovanni Vinci by Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser, prompted a response from Chad Gable. Taking to Instagram, Gable directed a succinct message at his long-time rival.
Gable and Gunther have a history of clashes, notably with Gable securing a victory over The Ring General via countout. Despite Gable’s aspirations for the Intercontinental Championship, it was Sami Zayn who dethroned Gunther at WrestleMania XL.
Following Zayn’s triumph over Gunther and a subsequent successful titlee defense against Gable, tensions escalated, culminating in Gable’s berating of his Alpha Academy comrades on RAW.
In response, Gable expressed a rare moment of agreement with Gunther, stating, “For once we agree.”
Meanwhile, amidst Imperium’s reconfiguration, speculation arose regarding a potential new addition to the faction. Booker T voiced his support for Ilja Dragunov joining Imperium during a discussion on the Hall of Fame podcast.
Booker envisioned Dragunov finding a fitting role within Imperium, especially considering his recent loss of the NXT Championship.
Joining Gunther’s faction could provide Dragunov with stability and opportunities to showcase his skills against various opponents.
As Imperium navigates its post-Vinci era, the WWE Universe awaits eagerly to see how the faction evolves under Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser’s leadership.
