This week’s Raw kicked off with Jey Uso, who was in a celebratory mood a week after his monumental Royal Rumble victory. Riding the wave of euphoria, ‘Main Event’ Jey marched to the ring, embracing his WrestleMania aspirations. However, his moment was abruptly shattered by Gunther, who had other plans. The Ring General launched a brutal assault on the fan favorite, attempting to crush his Mania dreams.

Gunther unleashed a relentless assault on Uso, determined to deter him from choosing him as his WrestleMania opponent. However, despite the brutal beatdown, Uso refused to back down. Summoning his resilience, he defiantly declared war on Gunther, making it clear that nothing would stop him from pursuing the World Heavyweight Title.

With unwavering confidence, Uso vowed to dethrone the Ring General at the Showcase of the Immortals. His bold declaration left the World Heavyweight Champion in disbelief, stunned by ‘Main Event’ Jey’s fearless decision. Adding to the stakes, WWE CCO Triple H also weighed in, calling this showdown a true test for Uso as a chance to prove whether he truly deserves the “Main Event” status.

Moreover, the 39-year-old has already fallen short multiple times against Gunther. In fact, just two weeks ago at Saturday Night’s Main Event, the Austrian powerhouse secured another victory over Uso. This history of defeats raises an intriguing question of what makes the OG Bloodline member believe he can finally end The Ring General’s dominant reign in Sin City.

Gunther was visibly furious at Jey Uso for daring to consider himself on the same level. The Ring General had no desire to defend his World Title against Uso at WrestleMania, expecting a higher-profile opponent for the grand stage. However, with his path now set, the 37-year-old made his frustration clear, delivering a scathing post-beatdown message to his challenger.

In a video message, the Austrian powerhouse declared that his assault on Monday Night Raw was merely the beginning of the end for Uso. Gunther warned that for the next 10 weeks leading up to WrestleMania, he would make The Yeet Master’s life miserable. With unwavering confidence, the Ring General vowed to dismantle Jey’s championship dreams on the road to the Grandest Stage of Them All.

A portion of the fanbase was skeptical of Uso’s Royal Rumble victory last week. However, it appears WWE is setting the stage for an underdog story, pitting the 39-year-old against the most dominant heel in the company. As WrestleMania approaches, only time will tell if the former Tag Team Champion can overcome the odds and achieve the unthinkable.
