Hmm nah I think he takes it through until mania and drops it there. Local ads are pumping him as the champion for chamber, which he will be at.

SD has some low burners atm but nothing big - Kross' group vs Lashley's, Santos' group vs LWO, the pending implosion of Damage CTRL, and that's....kinda it lol

I jest though, it doesn't seem too too bad. I just find it an interesting comparison to where storylines were last year. there's more of them this year and thats good, but as i said above, they dont really have a white hot storyline on either show atm imo

GUNTHER speaks about the WWE Royal Rumble matchup.

The Ring General and current reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion gave his thoughts on being the #1 entrant during a recent edition of WWE Playback. GUNTHER entered the 2023 Royal Rumble at number one and nearly won the entire thing before being eliminated by Cody Rhodes.

See that if I have to say, I always said if I’m ever participating in a Royal Rumble match, I want to be in at number one. Because if you come in as thirty, and you win it, it’s basically a present. The number one really has to earn it. I think it’s a very accurate entrance for a person for my stature.​
Send him in #1 again I say.​

Before Punk came back, Gunther was my pick to win.

It’s gonna be a great moment when he does it next year

I don’t think anyone would object to that.

Seen a lot of people predicting the Usos to be 1 and 2. I wouldn’t hate it

If they're not facing off at Mania i'd be cool with it but since i'm hoping they do get the Mania match, I hope this doesn't happen. Though I do see one eliminating the other though to set it up.
