Gunther defended his Intercontinental Title against Drew McIntyre and Sheamus at WrestleMania 39. It was a very brutal match, eventually Gunther retains the title. Some consider that Triple Threat match as one of the best matches of 2023.
Sheamus recently was Virgin Media Sports Stories podcast, where he talked about his WrestleMania 39 Match. Sheamus feels he should have main evented WrestleMania 39.
“The IC Title. That’s it. I want to main event WrestleMania too. I want to main event WrestleMania, that’s another one. The IC Title and main event WrestleMania are the two things I want to do. I should have main evented WrestleMania (39). It should have gone on last. It stole the show at WrestleMania.”
“Nothing came close, match-wise, the match me, Gunther, and Drew had. I knew that was always going to be the case. I was so close (to winning the IC Title) at Mania, and it just got taken away from me.” (H/T: Fightful)
