On Saturday at WrestleMania 40, Sami Zayn defeated Gunther to win the Intercontinental Title for the fourth time. This marks the end of Gunther’s reign at 666 days, which is the longest individual title reign in history and gives Gunther the most days overall as champion as well. Gunther had held the title since June 10, 2022 and was defending the title at his second straight WrestleMania.

It was a big one. Check out the title change plus a look back at the reign:

Opinion: That is certainly a milestone and it’s a big deal to have Gunther’s reign FINALLY come to an end. We were literally at a point where no one had ever been before and now we are getting to see where things go from here. There is no reason to not move Gunther up to the main event scene now and he is going there after an all time legendary run with the championship.
