Chad Gable isn't a good option to take the Intercontinental belt from Gunther

After beating guys like Sheamus and Drew McIntyre, losing to Gable would make Gunther go to the main event looking significantly weaker than he looks now. He needs to lose to someone established and who has always been treated as very strong, like Randy Orton if he returns, Cena, Bobby Lashley, or some young star from NXT, but not someone who until recently has never been treated as a major threat.
