Since he stunningly returned to WWE at MITB 2023, fans have been rooting to see Drew McIntyre back in a marquee position in the company. His confrontation with Gunther at the show laid the seeds for a future clash, and many fans believe McIntyre might end the former's Intercontinental Championship reign.

While a match between them has yet to be confirmed, WWE is heading in that direction. Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle have been feuding with Imperium, defeating Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni on the latest edition of RAW.

It's safe to say it's only a matter of time before The Scottish Warrior is announced as the next challenger for Gunther's Intercontinental Title. A recent Twitter post quizzed if McIntyre was the right choice to dethrone The Ring General.

Fans stormed to the comments section, with many saying the former WWE Champion might be the right candidate to take the title off Gunther's waist.

Many users also mentioned how this could open the doors for The Ring General to move on to the world title picture. Check out the reactions below:

@WrestlingWCC He’s the only one who can actually
@WrestlingWCC YESDrew is the only available option, besides Cody Rhodes, to beat Gunther for the Ic title
@WrestlingWCC Yes. Gunther has had one of the best reigns ever. I think it’s time and Drew needs a big W after the last year.
@WrestlingWCC Yes. A feud with Drew, who is a former heavyweight champ & a true top star, allows Gunther to drop the title to someone respectable and prepare him for the main event scene. It give Gunther the rub he needs, and puts the IC title in the hands of a king maker as the mid card grows
@WrestlingWCC Yes, it makes sense, timeline is a little of a problem. I think Gunther is ready for the main picture. Have him win rumble, challenge for whc. That way it leaves room for Cody and roman.
@WrestlingWCC I think he will because WWE is trying to keep him from leaving and possibly joining AEW. Nonetheless, it’s going to be one hell of a great match!!!
@WrestlingWCC Yes I think it's the perfect time for Gunther to compete for the world heavyweight championship after the IC title.
@WrestlingWCC Yes, because I would like to see Gunther Battle Roman for the title.
