Record breaking WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER was dropped by a surprising star after SmackDown went off the air.
The dominant champion was in action at Friday’s (February 9) SmackDown taping, facing off against Cameron Grimes in a dark match.
It was what happened after this non-televised match which got fans talking, with R-Truth squaring up to the Ring General.
R-Truth surprisingly came out on top, hitting John Cena’s iconic comeback sequence and Five Knuckle Shuffle to send GUNTHER fleeing from the ring.

While some believe that WWE just wanted to end the segment on a high, others have called for R-Truth to challenge for GUNTHER’s Intercontinental Title.
GUNTHER and Truth have only had one televised singles match, with GUNTHER defeating Truth on the July 4, 2022 edition of Raw.
R-Truth did challenge for GUNTHER’s NXT UK Title during a May 2019 house show in Dorset, England.
GUNTHER is the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, holding the title for 610 days as of Saturday (June 10).
The Ring General recently called a potential WWE target “one of the best in the world”, which you can read more about right here.
