Yesterday morning, in the hours leading up to SummerSlam, Sheamus took to (sigh) X to post the following:

The legacy he’s referring to, of course, is Honky Tonk Man’s record 454 consecutive days as Intercontinental champion. GUNTHER is fast approaching it and Sheamus’ old pal Drew McIntyre was the latest challenger tasked with putting a stop to him.

It may not matter in the end, as Sheamus kicked up some new issues with AJ Styles and The O.C. on SmackDown this past week and at SummerSlam, so he’s got his hands full elsewhere. He’s got just over one month to take GUNTHER down to protect Honky Tonk Man’s legacy.

Can he do it?
