WrestleMania 40 has come and gone and there’s no denying that the show featured some huge moments. One of the biggest moments that got fans talking was when Sami Zayn defeated Gunther to end his historic reign and win the Intercontinental Championship. The match was well received, but it sounds like WWE considered going in a different direction.
Former WWE host Matt Camp recently talked about the title picture in the months leading up to WrestleMania on his show The Wrestling Matt, and he claimed that at one point Gunther vs. Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship was discussed for the show.
“There were plans at the beginning of the year for Jey and GUNTHER for the IC Title – they ended up doing it on Raw, but that was in play as a potential WrestleMania match. That was in play between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania which I know it eventually happened. That was in play.
“How about this – Jey beating GUNTHER was in play for the IC Title before WrestleMania, with the idea of doing Jimmy/Jey for the IC Title at WrestleMania. I know that was talked about.”
Do you think WWE made the right call going with Gunther vs. Sami Zayn instead? Sound off in the comments below.
