Gunther to defend illustrious Intercontinental Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura

August 5, 2022

After earning an Intercontinental Championship match by defeating The Ring General’s ally in Ludwig Kaiser, The King of Strong Style will attempt to win back the title next week on SmackDown.

With Gunther looking as strong as he has been these past few months as Intercontinental Champion, Shinsuke Namakura will need to dig down deep in order to win the Championship for the third time. Nakamura will also need to be on the lookout for Kaiser, who will surely factor into the high-stakes match.

Can Namakura end the reign of Gunther and notch a third Intercontinental Championship win on his resume or will Gunther continue to sacredly defend the mat? Find out next week on SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX.
