Gunther has no intentions of dropping the WWE Intercontinental Championship anytime soon.
RAW Superstar Gunther was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When asked if he could see himself holding the Intercontinental and WWE Championship at the same time, Gunther admitted he thinks it’s possible.
“I think that is possible,” Gunther said. “But we will see. It’s just so hard to get there. Once a year. I have the chance when the Rumble comes around. I came very close last year. Let’s see what happens this year. I think that it’s absolutely possible. And that’s also not my focus right now.”
When asked if his focus is holding the title for over a thousand days, Gunther said he has no plans on losing the title.
“I don’t plan on losing it. I think no champion does that,” Gunther said. “At all. So I know that there will be a time where I lose it. That’s nothing lasts forever. And it’s the same case or my battle, right? That will not last forever either. But it’s on me to hold on to it as long as possible.”
When asked if there’s a number he’d like to get to, Gunther admitted he’s never had a number in mind.
“I gotta be fully honest,” Gunther began. “It’s like I have not once taken a break or if I look how many days or I was never paying attention to that. I only find out mostly through Twitter because it was linked into something where it was like reached that new thing that it’s nice to see.
“But I never have to number my add myself because I don’t like to compare myself with others; the others do their thing. I just focus on myself and compete with myself, and I don’t think it’s healthy to. You can endlessly compare yourself to others there will there will always be somebody that is better than you.”
