At Survivor Series, Intercontinental Champion Gunther faces another Superstar who boasts an impressive track record with the workhorse title, The Miz. On the Oct. 30 episode of Raw, animosity ignited between The Ring General and The Awesome One when Gunther rebuked and humiliated The Miz on “Miz TV.”
The next week, The Miz became the next No. 1 Contender to Gunther’s title after besting Ivar, Ricochet and “Big” Bronson Reed in a Fatal 4-Way Match. The A-Lister has held the Intercontinental Championship an astounding eight times and is one reign away from tying the record of nine.
Gunther has held the title for a record 514 days (531 by the time Survivor Series arrives), while The Miz has spent 592 days as champion. Only Pedro Morales has held the title longer, as the WWE Hall of Famer was champion for a combined 617 days.
