3 Superstars Who Can End Gunther’s Intercontinental Title Reign At WWE Royal Rumble 2024

1 years ago By Jhon Woug

The wait for the WWE Royal Rumble 2024 is almost over! There will be a gunther versus Big E encounter for the intercontinental championship belt as one of the marquee matches to look forward to. As we prepare for this explosive match-up, let’s explore three possible candidates that might dethrone Gunther from holding on to his Intercontinental title at the Royal Rumble.

  1. Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhones refers to himself as the “American nightmare” in the WWE, and his announcement for the 2024 royal rumble will make the event even more interesting to watch. It is possible that Cody simply wanted another chance at WrestleMania.

Given his record against Gunther, where Cody’s won when he knocked down an imposing champion at twenty-three SummerSlam shows, it would be appropriate to consider him among the candidates to take over Gunther’s throne and get the title of Intercontinental Championship holder. Royal Rumble has a reputation for making unexpected twists, and Cody’s hunt for title gold could form the centrepiece drama amidst the scrum of Rumble.

  1. Brock Lesnar

Since its Summerslam loss to Cody Rhodes, the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, has been missing in the WWE scene. Lesnar’s name will not appear in the poster for the Royal Rumble, but it is one of the other surprises that make up the signature features of all WWE events.

The title may be in trouble if Brock Lesnar shows up to make a surprise return on his way to winning the royal rumble. Despite being billed to face each other at ‘Royal Rumble’, the past between Lesnar and Gunner, whereby ‘Lesnar lost’ makes the event an ideal platform for ‘the beast’ to get revenge and add yet another chance to his long list of accomplishments.

  1. Drew McIntyre

Another tough competitor for Gunther’s Inter-Continental title is Drew McIntyre (who also goes by the moniker The Scottish Warrior). Even though WWE is not among the advertisements for the Royal Rumble, it is WWE’s habit to keep its most important return or surprise secret.

McIntyre is no stranger to WWE, having even previously reigned as Intercontinental Champion. He may eventually be redeemed for his title at the Royal Rumble, where he will write his name among the immortal wrestlers’ line-up.

The unexpectedness attached to the Royal Rumble 2024 makes us more eager to see a possible match for championship contention. For instance, Cody’s quest for revenge, Brock’s comeback out of nowhere, and Drew’s redemption path make up the title picture.

The fact is that such a secret must add some additional tension to the Royal Rumble game. We, as fans, can only imagine what will happen between these superstars, who have different motifs that make up their stories.

In this year’s WWE Royal Rumble, there will be a great high point: the Intercontinal Title Match. Gunther is on top, holding the championships, but his challengers are Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar, or Drew McIntyre. Anything could definitely occur on this unpredictable Rumble Road, and after the January 27th date, a new Intercontinental Champion will be revealed.
