Madcap Moss is the new number one contender to WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER.
Moss won a #1 Contenders Fatal 4 Way over Karrion Kross, Rey Mysterio, and Santos Escobar on Friday night’s SmackDown on FOX. Moss pinned Mysterio to win the match. Moss then celebrated with his girlfriend Emma. GUNTHER and Imperium looked on from a luxury box in the arena.
The title match between Moss and GUNTHER will now take place on next Friday’s Elimination Chamber go-home edition of SmackDown from Montreal.
This will be Moss and GUNTHER’s first-ever singles match. GUNTHER recently passed a significant milestone in his title reign, as noted this week at this link. GUNTHER won the WWE Intercontinental Title by defeating Ricochet in singles action on the June 10, 2022 episode of SmackDown. Since then, the Imperium leader has retained seven times on television, twice over Ricochet, twice over Shinsuke Nakamura, twice over Sheamus, twice over Rey Mysterio, and once over Braun Strowman.
