Gunther is very confident now that he’s guaranteed to be the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion.

After defeating Chad Gable on the September 4 episode of WWE Raw, Gunther is guaranteed to become the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion in history, shattering a 35-year-old record set by the Honky Tonk Man from 1987-1988.

Speaking in a WWE digital exclusive, Gunther reveled in his present-day invincibility.

“From the moment I won this prestigious championship, I saw the vision. I envisioned this very moment. I’m the one to redefine history redefine the legacy of the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. I heard them talking, I heard them discussing their childhood heroes, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Honky Tonk Man, Steve Austin, The Rock. The reality is, when that bell rings, they all can come, line up, and lace my boots. Because as long as I’m alive, there’s no man born yet to take this title off me.”
