It’s been 100 days since GUNTHER and LA Knight strolled into championship glory, and what a hundred days it’s been! For the unflappable GUNTHER, who rarely takes a fall, it’s been a year of firsts. He might’ve had his Intercontinental Championship reign snapped by Sami Zayn and taken a pin from Cody Rhodes, but let’s not forget that he picked up a little something called the World Heavyweight Championship from Damian Priest at SummerSlam. And today, the Imperium leader’s reign hits 100 days—a feat that’s making everyone wonder if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for his opponents. Spoiler: probably not.
Meanwhile, LA Knight—the guy who probably has “Eventful” tattooed on his bicep—has had a whirlwind run with the United States Championship. After snatching the title from Logan Paul at SummerSlam, Knight’s been on an absolute tear, racking up five successful defenses and leaving a trail of devastated contenders in his wake. His most recent victims? Andrade and Carmelo Hayes, both taken down in a single night at Crown Jewel. At this rate, they’re going to have to issue a storm warning every time Knight defends his title.
Let’s be honest, though. If this is GUNTHER’s idea of “just getting started,” then we’re all in for a lot more stomping, chopping, and posturing from the Austrian powerhouse. Sure, he’d have to keep the belt for another 566 days and defend it 21 more times to top his legendary Intercontinental reign, but if anyone’s stubborn enough to try, it’s him. And with Damian Priest now officially the number one contender, it looks like GUNTHER’s about to get a chance to start working on that stat sheet once again.
So here’s to GUNTHER and LA Knight: two men, two titles, 100 days, and zero signs of slowing down. And to anyone thinking of challenging them? We wish you the best. You’re going to need it.
