Gunther is your new WWE Intercontinental Champion.
Tonight’s SmackDown on FOX saw Gunther defeat Ricochet to capture the WWE Intercontinental Title. The match went back & forth, and Ludwig Kaiser was kicked in the face from the apron by Ricochet, but Gunther ended up winning clean in the middle of the ring after a dropkick and a powerbomb.
This is Gunther’s first title reign on the main roster. Ricochet began his first run with the Intercontinental Title back on the March 4 SmackDown, by defeating Sami Zayn. Ricochet held the strap for 97 recognized days.
