Unraveling the WWE Narrative: Chad Gable and the Enigma of Gunther

Unfinished Business for Chad Gable

Chad Gable finds himself at a pivotal point in his WWE journey, with a story left untold and unfinished business with Raw superstar Gunther and the coveted WWE Intercontinental Championship.

In the summer of 2023, a rivalry ignited between Gable and Gunther, culminating in a clash on September 4, where Gunther secured victory, becoming the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion.

Their encounters weren’t confined to just one showdown; Gable and Gunther crossed paths multiple times on the WWE Live circuit, with Gable struggling to overcome the dominance of the champion.

Reflecting on the past, Gable opened up about the lingering narrative that beckons to be concluded. In an interview with Battleground podcast, he expressed his desire to complete the chapter:

“For those who missed it, I went toe-to-toe with Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship in late summer and early fall. He’s been on an unprecedented streak with the title. But I don’t feel like I got closure from that feud.”

Gable’s aspirations extend beyond mere competition; they encompass a quest for personal validation. Winning the Intercontinental Championship would signify more than just a triumph; it would symbolize Gable’s emergence as a formidable singles competitor, shedding the tag team wrestler label that has trailed him.

Gunther, however, is currently embroiled in a new challenge, as Jey Uso sets his sights on the Intercontinental Championship.

Meanwhile, Gunther himself has hinted at a potential clash of titans, contemplating a title-versus-title encounter with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.

The stage is set for Gable to script his own destiny, to resolve the unfinished saga with Gunther, and to carve his place in WWE history as a solo star.
