Gunther Retains IC Title In WrestleMania Triple Threat That Hit Harder Than Mike’s Harder Lemonade
In a match sponsored by Mike’s Harder Lemonade, Gunther, Sheamus, and Drew McIntyre quenched fans’ thirst for violence at WWE WrestleMania 39.
Gunther defeated Sheamus and Drew McIntyre to inch one step closer to 300 days as WWE Intercontinental Champion.
All three men absolutely beat the hell out of each other and have the discoloration on their bodies to show it. Sheamus thought he had Gunther defeated, but Drew pulled Sheamus out of the ring after he hit a Brogue Kick on the champion, leading to both men brawling around the ring before Drew was then leveled with a Brogue Kick of his own.
Drew would kick out of that, and Sheamus would kick out of a Claymore Kick. Both men would once again start brawling with each other, and in the end, Gunther Powerbombed Sheamus onto McIntyre and then Powerbombed McIntyre for the victory.
