The Intercontinental Champion Gunther has been one of WWE’s standout performers over the last year or so. His dominance since joining the main roster has sparked fan speculation about him potentially becoming the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. While others have tried and failed to dethrone Roman Reigns, Bully Ray believes Gunther could be the one to step into that role, possibly taking over as the face of WWE.

Bully Ray on Gunther replacing Reigns

On Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed Gunther’s dominant title reign, drawing parallels to Roman Reigns. When asked if Gunther could assume the role of the face of WWE by becoming the Undisputed Universal Champion, Ray expressed a strong belief in Gunther’s potential. “Without a doubt,” he declared on the radio show, emphasizing Gunther’s capacity as a World Champion. He also referred to him as a “Throwback champion”, saying he reminds him of his favorite champion Pedro Morales and Gunther will always come after Morales for him.

Currently, Gunther’s focus remains on his Intercontinental Championship run. Recently, on RAW he solidified his place in WWE history by defeating Chad Gable. This victory guarantees that he will surpass Honky Tonk Man’s record to become the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion ever. Considering the prestigious lineage of the title, Gunther’s achievement places him in esteemed company, and Bully Ray now ranks him among the all-time great Intercontinental Champions.
