The heated feud between Sami Zayn and Gunther will come head-to-head at WrestleMania 40 when both RAW superstars will collide against each other with The Ring General’s WWE Intercontinental title at stake. Sami clinched the opportunity by outlasting five competitors in a Gauntlet match on Monday Night RAW a few weeks ago and subsequently finding his missing path on the road to WrestleMania. Predictions for this WrestleMania XL match have started.
With The Underdog from the Underground gearing up to battle the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, here are 5 possible match finishes that can happen for the high-stakes match:
1. Chad Gable assists Sami Zayn in his path to glory
As witnessed following his win in the Gauntlet match, Sami Zayn was met with a huge backlash on social media from fans who wanted to see Alpha Academy leader Chad Gable earn a title shot against Gunther at WrestleMania 40. But Gable maintained his cool, accepted the defeat, and even offered some advice to Zayn as he headed to face The Ring General.

Moreover, he could prove to be the decisive factor in their match at WrestleMania, exacting revenge from Gunther for embarrassing him in front of his family a few months ago on RAW during their title match. Chad Gable could provide a timely distraction or some assistance giving Sami Zayn the opening to dethrone Gunther and retain his title.
2. Chad Gable snatches Sami Zayn’s moment in a mirror image of him taking away his WrestleMania dream
While Chad Gable currently looks to be in Sami Zayn’s corner despite some harsh criticism of his match approach with Gunther, it could all turn out to be a ruse. Still reeling from the fact that Zayn took his WrestleMania moment, Gable could be the one to snatch Sami’s moment by costing him the match and assisting Gunther to extend his impressive title reign further.
3. Bronson Reed makes a huge statement about being left out of WrestleMania
Amidst the triangle situation between Sami Zayn, Gunther, and Chad Gable, another superstar, who was gunning for that same opportunity at WrestleMania was Big Bad Bronson Reed. Frustrated with things not going his way, Reed made a huge comeback by defeating Sami Zayn on this week’s edition of RAW.

Moreover, he could very well inject himself into the Intercontinental championship match between Gunther and Sami Zayn by costing the challenger the match, seemingly aligning with Gunther. However, that could be his moment to knock down The Ring General and leave the last impression of him hosting the WWE Intercontinental title at The Showcase of the Immortals.
4. WrestleMania XL Predictions – Gunther retains the title with the assistance of his faction
As seen on multiple occasions, Gunther’s Imperium faction members, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci have assisted him in preserving his long-standing title reign over the last 600+ days. Both of his trusted allies could once again make their presence felt by playing the numbers game with Sami Zayn and giving Gunther the perfect opportunity to strike and secure the pinfall to retain his title.
5. WrestleMania XL Predictions – Sami Zayn rises above all odds to clinch another big WrestleMania moment
Last year, Sami Zayn main-evented WrestleMania with his best friend Kevin Owens and left Night 1 of the show by dethroning The Usos for the Undisputed WWE tag team titles despite multiple doubters who believed he was not destined for the glory.
Zayn could use that same heat from the non-believers and channel his resilience, aggression, and in-ring acumen to lay it all inside the squared circle and rise above all odds to dethrone Gunther with a timely Helluva kick to end the most incredible WWE Intercontinental title reign at WrestleMania 40.
