WWE WrestleMania 41: 20 Things That Must Happen
6. Jey Uso Wins The Big One
Bad news for Gunther: The 'Ring General' won't be matching the 316 (hell yeah) day reign Seth Rollins had with the new fangled World Heavyweight Title when the belt was first introduced back in 2023. In fact, Gunther's run will stop well short of hitting 300 once Jey Uso beats him in Vegas and becomes Raw's new main man.
That's the guess here, at least.
The kicking Gunther gave Jey's sibling Jimmy on the 31 March episode of Raw was akin to WWE letting fans know, 'Psst! The hero will triumph in the end!'. It was like a throwback to Randy Orton handcuffing Triple H whilst RKO'ing Stephanie McMahon in 2009, or any number of heated angles of the sort over the decades. That's meant as a compliment, by the way. There was something deliciously old-school wrestling about Gunther's beatdown.
Royal Rumble winner Jey would look mighty foolish if he didn't come through and knock the tyrannical champion down a peg or two now. There's just no way Triple H or WWE as a whole throws away the chance to see 60/70,000+ waving their arms in the air and shouting, "YEET" along with Uso. That'd be a WrestleMania moment of its own.
Gunther isn't finished with World Titles by a long shot, but he can afford to take a sabbatical from holding straps for a while. Doing the honours for Jey would cement Uso as a main event calibre star rather than a former tag guy who bumps his head against glass ceilings on the upper-midcard.
Saturday night should be alright for yeeting.
