GUNTHER’s Crown Jewel Handshake with Cody Rhodes Hints at Future Showdown

One Big Thing

Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER has sent a cryptic “for now” message following his post-match handshake with Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel, suggesting their rivalry isn’t over.

Why It Matters

• This interaction potentially sets up a future high-profile feud between two of WWE’s top performers
• GUNTHER’s 500+ day Intercontinental Championship reign adds significant weight to any challenge he issues
• A longer program between these two could elevate the already prestigious IC title further

By The Numbers

• First-ever one-on-one match between GUNTHER and Rhodes
• GUNTHER’s current IC title reign: 500+ days
• Crown Jewel 2024 marked Rhodes’ first victory over GUNTHER

Behind The Scenes

• The match ended cleanly with Rhodes reversing GUNTHER’s sleeper hold into a pinfall
• Post-match handshake showed rare respect from GUNTHER
• No interference from rumored participants like Kevin Owens or Goldberg

What’s Next

• Tonight’s pre-taped RAW features a four-way match to determine GUNTHER’s next challenger
• Competitors include Seth Rollins, Dominik Mysterio, Sheamus, and Damian Priest
• The outcome could influence GUNTHER’s immediate future direction

The Bottom Line

While GUNTHER may be focused on defending his Intercontinental Championship against tonight’s four-way winner, his message to Rhodes suggests unfinished business between the two competitors.
