I've said it before, but Gable's gimmick is holding him back IMO. Gable doesn't really have a gimmick, he just plays himself. The stuff he does is pretty over with the crowd.

Before he is losing his title, I would love to see him facing Brock Lesnar. Lesnar going for the IC title would elevate the title back to its prestige of the old days. Despite Gunther is now the longest reigning champion the IC title still does not feel as major as it used to be when HBK and Razor were going for ladder matches etc.
Gunther really needs 2-3 top card opponents that he has to defeat to make his run complete. Yes I know that he defeared Sheamus and Mcintyre, but the majority of his defenses were lower midcard ranked.
I wouldn’t even mind a champion vs champion at some point. Back in the days when Warrior faced Hogan the IC champion was considered to be the logical No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.
In the end, the purpose of this long run was to bring the IC-title back in the upper(mid) card and male it a PPVworthy title. The damage that has been done to the prestige of the IC-title over the last years cannot be repaired by simply keeping it with Gunther. We need classic moments people will still talk about in years to come and I don’t see too many happened within Gunthers run.

The Intercontinental Championship is no longer utilized as a rung on the ladder, it's a glass ceiling. Talents who are seen as midcard are put there from the jump and circle around that level for years. Very few make that honest jump anymore. Call it a problem of the boss's booking or their "developmental" being mainstream, but progression is largely DOA.

Some more ideas:
What about Ricochet? This way they would go full circle and Ricochet would finally get the push he deserves.
The Miz. Noone else would be able to call himself The Record Champion Slayer. The man who beat the greatest IC-Champion of all time and therefore becomes the greatest IC-Champion himself.
Last but not least, the long turn: MJF. Keep the title where it is until he is with WWE and give him the Carlito treatment.

Dom Mysterio is another good choice
