This week’s Raw showcased a heated faceoff between Jey Uso and Gunther ahead of their upcoming clash for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event. While The Ring General is widely acclaimed for his mic skills, surprisingly, it was Uso who stole the spotlight with a scathing remark that left the WWE Universe in shock.

After enduring constant disrespect from the World Champion, Uso finally snapped on the mic. He fired back, demanding that Gunther put some respect on his name. Uso emphasized that, not only is he currently the biggest face in WWE, but he is also a former WrestleMania main eventer, an achievement Gunther has yet to reach in his career. With that, he made it clear: he demands respect.
