Gunther’s lengthy Intercontinental Title reign had its biggest test yet with Drew McIntyre and Sheamus both looking to gain the gold.
Sheamus was attempting to cap off a golden career; by becoming Intercontinental Champion, The Celtic Warrior would become a Grand Slam Champion. Drew McIntyre, meanwhile, was looking to become Intercontinental Champion for the first time since 2010, which would be a record for longest time between reigns.
McIntyre dropkicked Gunther out of the ring to start the contest, leaving the two battling Warriors, who have not been seeing eye-to-eye, in the ring.
Gunther soon came back into the ring, delivering a symphony of chops. The Scottish Warrior got in on the chopping action as well, with Gunther and McIntyre going chop-for-chop, delighting the WWE Universe.
Sheamus locked Gunther in the Beats of the Bodhran, with McIntyre also beating Gunther’s chest.
Sheamus then caught McIntyre, delivering 27 Beats of the Bodhran and earning a standing ovation for his efforts.
As Gunther headed to the top rope, Sheamus caught him and hit a jaw-dropping White Noise from way up high. A High Cross took Gunther within milliseconds of losing his title, but Gunther kicked out.
With the WWE Universe firmly behind him, Sheamus signaled for the Brogue, hitting The Ring General and almost winning the title. At the last second, however, McIntyre dragged Sheamus out of the ring to break the count.
Sheamus and McIntyre each hit the other with a Brogue Kick and a Claymore, but both kicked out incredulously.
The brutality continued as Sheamus and McIntyre went blow for blow. Sheamus caught McIntyre with another Brogue and looked set to win the title, but Gunther flew from the top rope to break up the pinfall.
Gunther then Powerbombed Sheamus onto McIntyre’s back, gave McIntyre a traditional Powerbomb, pinned The Scottish Warrior to end Banger-Mania, and became “The WrestleMania General.”
