After dominating the Intercontinental Championship, Gunther finally reached the top of the hierarchy at SummerSlam by winning the World Heavyweight Title. In theory, there it was.
Let's be honest, since this title was introduced last year, WWE has not been able to elevate it to the level of an undisputed WWE title, mainly due to poor management decisions. Booking.
Why was Seth Rollins champion for over 300 days when you couldn't take him seriously? Why did they give him a mediocre match against Shinsuke Nakamura? Wouldn't it have been better if Damian Priest had done that in cash Last summer in Finn Balor and began a serious rivalry between the members of Doomsday?
Now, it seems we finally have a champion who can change that. After The Ring General lifted the Intercontinental Championship, there’s no doubt she can do the same now, and more importantly, it will be done in no time.
