Gunther, WWE’s formidable Intercontinental Champion, has been making waves as one of the most dominant champions in 2023. Despite being involved in more title defenses than both Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley, Gunther faced an unexpected turn of events during this week’s SmackDown dark match when he was taken out by the 52-year-old WWE legend, R-Truth.
On RAW, Gunther found himself in a confrontation with Jey Uso, hinting at a potential collision course between the two competitors shortly. Making an appearance on SmackDown for the first of two dark matches, Gunther successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against Cameron Grimes.
In an unforeseen twist, R-Truth emerged during the dark match and targeted the Intercontinental Champion, delivering a surprising attack. The unexpected moment added an element of unpredictability to Gunther’s reign as Intercontinental Champion.
R-Truth, a 52-year-old WWE legend, has been entertaining the audience with his comedic segments, receiving enthusiastic “We want Truth” chants on SmackDown. In a recent humorous segment, he mistook Kevin Owens for his former tag team partner, The Miz, further showcasing his ability to engage the crowd with his comedic prowess.
While R-Truth thrives in lighthearted and entertaining segments, Gunther maintains a stark contrast as a serious and intense character. The Intercontinental Champion has steered clear of comedic elements, emphasizing his dedication to maintaining a dominant and formidable presence in WWE.
The unexpected clash between Gunther and R-Truth adds an intriguing dynamic to their respective characters and storylines within the WWE landscape.
