Miz: Gunther Is Making The IC Title Prestigious; If He Dropped It Now, He’s In The World Title Mix

The Miz has praise for Gunther and his WWE Intercontinental Title reign. 

Miz is one of the most decorated Intercontinental Champions in WWE history as an eight-time champion, holding the title for a combined 597 days. 

Gunther has only held the IC Title once, but his current reign stands at over 400 days. 

Speaking to CombicBook Nation, Miz commented on Gunther’s reign. 

“I think he’s doing with the Intercontinental Championship what exactly he should be doing with it and that is making it relevant, making it prestigious, being involved in meaningful storylines and making it mean something. He is at a level now where if he dropped the title, he’s in a mix for a WWE Championship and that’s what I always felt that title was supposed to be, not necessarily a stepping stone, but it was a title that builds you and builds you until you’re almost level with the World Heavyweight Championship. Once that title is dropped, or you can even go and have two titles, the world title and the Intercontinental. So I think he’s doing a great job. Who will unseat him? You’ve got Drew McIntyre going for it, he’s a very viable person. I remember back in the pandemic era, he was unstoppable in a WWE ring, except for me. I beat him for the WWE Championship, second reign. But who’s counting?” he said.

Miz is currently battling with Tommaso Ciampa on WWE Raw while Gunther is entangled with Drew McIntyre, who returned at WWE Money in the Bank.
