Grand Slam Champion's face turn teased for the first time in 4 years after confrontation with Gunther on RAW
Gunther has been the most dominant Intercontinental Champion of all time and has had a regular turnover of challengers. With challengers coming and going, his next one is a bonafide legend who seemingly seems to be set for a face turn.
Gunther was invited to The Miz TV this week. As you may know, The Miz is one of the all-time great Intercontinental Champions and is the first-ever two-time Grand Slam Champion in WWE history.
The Ring General and The Miz had a confrontation on Miz TV, with Gunther disrespecting The Grand Slam Champion before the former retaliated. The Miz's retaliation was essentially a reminder of who he is and what he's accomplished.
His promo had all the signs of a face turn, and that seems to have been the intention, as it was clearly noticed by everyone - particularly with the crowd's positive reaction to him.
Ultimately, it ended in a beatdown for The Miz after Imperium members sidekicks Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci (who spoke in a rare moment) held him.
Backstage, The Miz went to Adam Pearce and demanded a title shot, but the latter seemingly couldn't just give him a free title shot, so he looked to be setting him up against "Big" Bronson Reed for a Championship opportunity.
Will The Miz be the one to dethrone The Ring General? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
