WWE has become one of the biggest brands in sports entertainment in recent years. And all this is only possible because of the performance of its top superstars. WWE, as a brand, lays its trust in certain stars to be the torch-bearers for the company in the future. As in the case of Hulk Hogan, Dwayne Johnson, Steve Austin and even Roman Reigns in the current era. And now, WWE will be laying its trust on Gunther’s arch nemesis.

This wrestler has also been called the next Kurt Angle by many fans.

During this time, he has had multiple feuds as a tag team with The Wyatt Family, The Usos and The Viking Raiders. But his recent feud with Imperium and their leader Gunther is what’s elevating his stature amongst the WWE faithful. Gable is the only person to ever defeat Gunther ever since he debuted on the main roster.

This was a title match, and Gunther lost due to a count-out. But titles are not transferred during a count-out unless there is prior stipulation and thus Gunther remained the Intercontinental Champion. But this was still a shocking defeat for The Ring General.
