In a surprising twist, the WWE Fastlane might bring a new contender to the ring. Although Intercontinental Champion Gunther is expected to defend his title, speculation has shifted about who his next opponent might be. Recently, Gunther celebrated an impressive milestone on WWE RAW, marking his place as the longest-standing Intercontinental Champion in WWE's storied history.

But the celebrations were cut short with the unexpected arrival of Chad Gable. This led to an intense six-man tag team showdown, with Imperium squaring off against the combined might of Alpha Academy and Tommaso Ciampa. One unforgettable moment from the clash was when Gable used the Ankle Lock to make Giovanni Vinci submit, all.

At the same time, Ciampa restrained The Ring General, Gunther, with a vice-like submission hold. This has sparked the beginning of what promises to be a fierce rivalry between Gunther and Ciampa. Fans are already pitching their preferred showdowns, with many voicing their enthusiasm for a match between Ciampa, famously called The Psycho Killer, and Gunther, known as The Austrian Anomaly.

Their prior face-off on NXT TakeOver has set high expectations, and it's a tantalizing possibility for Fastlane.
