The Imperium leader Gunther is one of the longest reigning WWE Intercontinental Champions of the modern era. He has now reached a massive landmark as he has completed a whole year as the champ.

He captured the title in June last year and the Austrian star has defeated many top names in the company, including Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Braun Strowman.

'The Ring General' can match Honky Tonk Man's long-standing record in September. This would mean the Raw star must retain his title through the summer to ensure the accolade is his.

Taking to his Twitter account, Gunther posted a picture holding a cigar and held a glass of juice on the other hand. He donned a Biologique Recherche bathrobe as he enjoyed the scenic view through the window.

Most recently, Gunther successfully defended his title against Mustafa Ali at Night of Champions premium live event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that WWE has plans for Gunther to break Honky Tonk Man's historic 453-day Intercontinental Championship reign record. He is only 88 days away from breaking the record that has stood for nearly 36 years at the time of this writing.

According to a recent report from WRKD Wrestling, company higher-ups have been discussing The Ring General potentially surpassing Honky Tonk Man's long-standing record.

"We’ve learned that there are internal talks for Gunther to pass Honky Tonk Man’s all-time historic Intercontinental championship reign. He’d officially break the record on September 6, 2023."

The Ring General has also impressed fans and company executives with his hard-hitting style. Hence, many want to see the Imperium leader go one-on-one with Brock Lesnar. We will have to see if that takes place in the future.
