Gunther to feud with 38-year-old former Bloodline member? Analyzing if his title reign is in jeopardy

Gunther has been an unstoppable Intercontinental Champion on WWE RAW, having held the title for 500+ days. Could he feud with a former Bloodline member soon?

Thanks to Gunther, the Intercontinental Championship has become a main event title on WWE RAW. He is the longest reigning champion in the prestigious title's storied history and has defended it against great challengers like Chad Gable, Drew McIntyre, Tomasso Ciampa, and more. However, his reign could end if a 38-year-old star steps up.

This star is none other than Main Event Jey Uso, who is relatively new to the red brand. Since arriving on the show, he has headlined several times alongside Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, and others. However, he has yet to win his first-ever singles championship.

If that's the goal in Jey's mind, he could challenge The Ring General soon. The company has been advertising a battle between the stars as a dark match following SmackDown, which means it could very well be in the plans.

Considering Jey Uso has previously gone toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns on multiple occasions, he could realistically become the new Intercontinental Champion and the title's longest reign may be in jeopardy.
