R-Truth's WWE Smackdown Nightmare: Gunther's Assault Unleashed

Following SmackDown, WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER experienced an unexpected twist that left fans buzzing with excitement.

After a gripping dark match against Cameron Grimes during Friday’s (February 9) SmackDown taping, tensions escalated dramatically.

R-Truth made a surprising entrance, confronting the Ring General head-on. In a stunning turn of events, R-Truth emerged victorious, executing John Cena’s iconic comeback sequence and Five Knuckle Shuffle, prompting GUNTHER to swiftly exit the ring.

For those who missed this electrifying moment, a clip can be viewed below.

Fan opinions are divided; while some speculate WWE orchestrated the segment to end on a high note, others are clamoring for R-Truth to challenge GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Title.

Despite only meeting once on television, with GUNTHER emerging victorious on the July 4, 2022, edition of Raw, their history extends further. R-Truth previously challenged GUNTHER for the NXT UK Title during a house show in Dorset, England, in May 2019.

GUNTHER’s reign as Intercontinental Champion, extending an impressive 610 days as of Saturday (June 10), remains unmatched. Notably, the Ring General recently praised a potential WWE target as “one of the best in the world.”
