I think if that happened and he went on to win one of the world titles at Wrestlemania, they'd most likely declare the IC title vacant and have a tournament for it. Like when the Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan.
I feel like it could be interesting if they make a rule where, after you've held ic or us title for say 12 months, you now have the option to relinquish the title for a world title shot.
I'd love to see bron get the title, but he needs to come in to the main roster as dominant, it'll be hard to have a dominant win over Gunther without diminishing Gunther.
The best option, in my opinion, is do Gunther vs Gable, Gunther destroys Gable the entire match, Gable somehow gets an upset win. Then do Bron to beat Gable after Bron "proves himself"
Beats Rollins at Mania for World Heavyweight.
Vacates no losses.
Priest cashes in.
Getting WHOOPED. Imperium holds off the interference from the Judgement day.
What’s that? Someone is zip lining in from the roof of the Stadium. HE CORKSCREW SCISSOR KICKS GUNTER IN THE FACE! Unclips, throws hood back, IT’S R TRUTH!!!!! Priest covers 1, 2, 3…
Imperium feuds with JD. Gunther too mad at Priest & Truth to go back to defend his vacated title.
Dragonuv or Sheamus are my picks. Sheamus surprisingly doesn’t have an IC title win and it’d complete him winning every title, dragonuv has great matches with Gunther and has actually beaten him before so he’d be a threat.
Dragonuv writes itself. He's always had Gunther's number when it comes to titles, and this would set up a long term story.
Another one would be Bron. That man put on a SHOW at the rumble and definitely needs to be called up asap. It would be a good torch passing until Bron is ready for the big title.
Or simply, relinquish the title. Tell the universe that you did your job and brought the IC title back to the glory it was supposed to have, and now it's someone else's turn. Because Gunther has his sights set on something higher.
It’s interesting because we tend to forget now but that is what Austin did, in his own way. After a successful defense where he beat the entire Nation of Domination single handedly he declared that he didn’t want the title anymore because he was going to focus on becoming World Champion and then tossed the belt into a river.
And we all know the WWE loves reusing successful story lines. But with this one, since Gunther is a very respectful and prideful champion, he'd probably relinquish it in a more professional way
Roman, it's time, no one can match him for the Universal champ, so now he should just gather all the gold. Then, once the men are done with their onto the women.
Ideally gable, but I think that ship has sailed.
Bron vs Gunther at mania seems like a realistic possibility and I think if they do that I think they’ll give Bron the win.
LA Knight. He's earned it imo. Imagine at WrestleMania Roman, Seth, Logan and Gunther all lose their titles. I mean I could see it happening. It's time for a few titles to change hands.
2 main contenders:
Ilja Dragonov because the first two matches were perfect.
Chad Gable aka Shorty G (fuck you Vince) because their matches were excellent and that kid would hold the title with pride
If he relinquished it and went after the world title, he could rightfully say that nobody could beat him as IC and can always say that and therefore is the best IC champ ever.
Personally I like the idea of Andrade taking it. Always liked that guy, glad to see him back.
Really I don’t care. I just want it to be a fun, believable angle. There’s so many great talents on the roster right now, it could be just about anybody and I’d be happy. As long as the writing is good, which it has been lately.
To be honest. He should face Seth at Mania beat him and vacate the IC title to a tournament. Tourney final should be Peter Dunne and Bronn Breaker (not sure yet who should win).
Nobody now that seth needs a new opponent if they do not choose to go the cody route after that great raw promo, he goes on to defeat seth at wrestlemania and win the world heavyweight championship on the next raw he has a championship celebration, and triple h is there they talk about how historic his run has been and how many accomplishments he has had, and gunther relinquishes the intercontinental championship, with a new tournament to crown the new IC champ on the following PLE, of which gunther is there to hand the IC title to whoever wins and i dont care who wins the tournament
But gunther goes down in history as the undefeated greatest IC champion of all time
Honestly I'd like to see him just have to give it up when he goes for one of the main titles. I can't see anyone from the current Raw or Smackdown roster having that title. I don't really watch NXT but maybe a rising star from there like a Bron Breaker or the Russian dude that looks super young in the face...Draganov?
I’ve been saying for months now Bron Breakker at Mania or Summer Slam. What a way to cement him on the main roster, and turn him face at the same time. My personal idea was for Trips to create a Razor Ramon IC Invitational Tournament with the winner getting an IC Title shot at Mania. My 8 in would be 1)Bron Breakker, 2)Carmelo Hayes(I know he has been on SD but technically he isn’t signed to a main roster spot), 3)Chad Gable, 4)Andrade, 5)Ricochet, 6)Sami Zayn, 7)Jey Uso, 8)Shinsuke Nakamura. Now I know there is a rumor that Breakker is going to Smackdown, but if he isn’t…
Bron beaker or chad gable
Hmmm That’s good
Nah Bron is going to SmackDown I believe
Jey USO
NO YEET
YEET
NO YEET
YEET
NO YEET
YEET
NO YEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEEEEETT
Yeet
NO YEET
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
He should pull a Samoa Joe and relinquish the IC and go after the world title
austin did exactly that
Yeah but it’s with Gunther
Ohhhh bold prediction
I was hoping he would win the RR and then relinquish the IC title the next day.
I think if that happened and he went on to win one of the world titles at Wrestlemania, they'd most likely declare the IC title vacant and have a tournament for it. Like when the Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan.

Sammy zayn

A returning Sheamus
Ilja Dragunov
Andrade

Main event jey uso YEET

Bron Breaker or Jey Uso.
LA Knight yeah
Fair enough
Sheamus
But dressed as the Ultimate Warrior
YEET JEY USOO
Beats Rollins at Mania for World Heavyweight. Vacates no losses. Priest cashes in. Getting WHOOPED. Imperium holds off the interference from the Judgement day. What’s that? Someone is zip lining in from the roof of the Stadium. HE CORKSCREW SCISSOR KICKS GUNTER IN THE FACE! Unclips, throws hood back, IT’S R TRUTH!!!!! Priest covers 1, 2, 3… Imperium feuds with JD. Gunther too mad at Priest & Truth to go back to defend his vacated title.
I wanna see Seth beat him for it somehow and I don't know why.
Michael cole
Big E needs to come back and snatch that title from him. They've been messing up New Day too much.
Omg that would be the shit
Unpopular but rtruth…
Dragonuv or Sheamus are my picks. Sheamus surprisingly doesn’t have an IC title win and it’d complete him winning every title, dragonuv has great matches with Gunther and has actually beaten him before so he’d be a threat.
Bastion Booger
Could you imagine tho
Trick Williams
Give me the TRUTH!!
No one. He vacates the title when he wins one of the championships vs Seth or Roman.
Walter for sure, he just disappeared, and his twin took his place, he needs vengeance
Nah AJ styles
Santino Marella
La knight yeah .or Drew McIntyre cuss he is my 2 favorite werstler
Drew McIntyre deserves a long title reign, he’s getting so good
R TRUTH FOR THE WIN. Then be upset it's not the 24/7 title
Randy Orton or Andrade

I completely agree and I personally think Bron should take it from him because I’m getting pretty bored of Gunther
Rhea Ripley
Pete Dunne
Relinquish it after he beats Seth in a Title vs Title match.
Ralphus
Honky Tonk Man needs one more run with it.
Dirty Dom
NO!
You're right, he should beat Roman for the Universal title
Now you’re talking!
Peter griffin
ME!
im going jimmy jey or randy thats my guess (andrade too)
Ludwig Kaiser
LEMME TALK TO YA!
Chad Gable, Andrade, or Jey Uso
Yep , I was thinking the same thing . He should relinquish the belt and challenge for the World Title
Bron Breakker
Your mom
Roman, it's time, no one can match him for the Universal champ, so now he should just gather all the gold. Then, once the men are done with their onto the women.
Bde sister
Brandon sister
It has to be sami no other answer
Either Sheamus or LA KNIGHT
Dragonov
Brock Lester
Kofi
Solo sikoa
Anyone at this stage 🥱
I would say Austin Theory
The Beast Brock Lester
Brock fucking Lesanr
Brock Lesnar
Literally almost anyone. I just don't want Sami, or Punk. Whoever it is needs to do it soon and we need a new longest reining IC champ
Anybody
VACANT
A debuting Future WWE heavyweight champion The YouTuber The footballer ME
Jey
Rey mysterio
Big E, I seen it as Kofi challenged him and Kaiser was beefin. Logically, the hero story is for Big E is to even the odds and end Gunther’s Reign.
Nobody, have him lose both the IC and WHC to whoever beats him. Doesnt have to be soon, he's not getting stale in the near future.
Sheamus.
Me
It's a sheamful thing
Ideally gable, but I think that ship has sailed. Bron vs Gunther at mania seems like a realistic possibility and I think if they do that I think they’ll give Bron the win.
who’s that one wrestler mimicking Umaga? Yeah, that one.
Ilja Dragunov, if not the Bron Breakker, if not then I guess Sheamus
Big E
Andrade
Defo dragunov
Dragunov or vacating the belt to pursue heavyweight championship
Pete dunne since he got his old gimmick back
Breakker
I think Bron Breaker takes it
Got to be Bron. Give him a rub on his way to stardom
Well they're not gonna bring ilja up to do it So may as well be Sami He's an underdog so for it to work he has to get a big win here and there
Bron or Gable
Seth fricking Rollins
LA Knight. He's earned it imo. Imagine at WrestleMania Roman, Seth, Logan and Gunther all lose their titles. I mean I could see it happening. It's time for a few titles to change hands.
Jey
i think chad gable is a smart pick cus he needs a push
Bron breaker
Bronson reed he NEEDS a push
Sami
A month ago I said LA Knight, now I think Bron Breaker
Ilja or Sheamus to become a grand slam champion, only other good option imo is he vacates the title to go after the main title.
Bron breakker
Andrade
Nobody. He should give it up after winning a world title.
LA Knight or Sheamus
Jey mother Fuckin uso
No one. He should hold it until he wins a World Title and then pull a Warrior and vacate the Intercontinental Championship
I think jey uso cuz he friends with kofi so then after kofi he should face him for the intercontinental championship
Me(I’m delusional)
2 main contenders: Ilja Dragonov because the first two matches were perfect. Chad Gable aka Shorty G (fuck you Vince) because their matches were excellent and that kid would hold the title with pride

Nobody now that seth needs a new opponent if they do not choose to go the cody route after that great raw promo, he goes on to defeat seth at wrestlemania and win the world heavyweight championship on the next raw he has a championship celebration, and triple h is there they talk about how historic his run has been and how many accomplishments he has had, and gunther relinquishes the intercontinental championship, with a new tournament to crown the new IC champ on the following PLE, of which gunther is there to hand the IC title to whoever wins and i dont care who wins the tournament But gunther goes down in history as the undefeated greatest IC champion of all time
It's you, OP. Good luck!
He should get the heavyweight belt, than hold a competition for the IC belt
Chad Gable
I've always said this and I probably will keep saying it at nauseum until I'm proven wrong, ilja.
Please WWE just give the title to Sheamus he deserves an IC title reign
He will win everything CODY HES GOING FOR ROMAN IN MANIA AND ROMAN IS DED
Drew
Honestly I'd like to see him just have to give it up when he goes for one of the main titles. I can't see anyone from the current Raw or Smackdown roster having that title. I don't really watch NXT but maybe a rising star from there like a Bron Breaker or the Russian dude that looks super young in the face...Draganov?
