While Gunther has fostered a formidable and aloof presence inside and outside the ring, it seems that the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion does have a heart. In a recent interview, Gunther praised a WWE star who has remained a solid rival to him and who he had only recently humiliated on Raw. The Ring General put The Miz high up on the list of people he actually enjoys working with, crediting the former WWE Champion with benefitting him, despite their differences.

Gunther believes The Miz is a pro

The longest reigning IC Champion sat down in a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, where he said, “I enjoy being in the ring with guys that have a similar style of me, but I even more enjoy the challenge of being with somebody that is completely different, and Miz is a polar opposite to what I am.

Gunther further added, “The guy has been in the company for 20 years, he’s an absolute pro. I feel like maybe aside from the thing I did at the beginning with Sheamus, the program I had with Miz is the thing that’s benefited me the most so far.

There have been several advancements from The Miz’s end in order to obtain the IC Championship from Gunther. Despite numerous tries, the WWE superstar has failed. But Gunther’s words suggest that perhaps this feud is not yet over.

Will Gunther lose his title to his current rival?

Mizanin has previously reigned as an Intercontinental Champion. So, it would make sense that WWE sees him as the perfect opponent to pin down Gunther. Considering the respect from the Austrian wrestler’s end, this might be the direction that the promotion might be taking.

The promotion could feature “The Awesome One” in a storyline where he takes over The Imperium after defeating the leader of the stable.

But if fans show too much fatigue regarding their feud, it could be that we would have to move over from this feud since WWE would also let it go after a final confrontation between the two wrestlers.
