The bigger the stage, the greater the pressure—and Jey Uso is feeling it ahead of his showdown with Gunther at WrestleMania. Despite his ‘Main Event’ Jey moniker, the 39-year-old has never competed on such a grand stage as a singles competitor. The weight of the moment seems to be affecting him, which has led to noticeable mistakes in his performances.

Jimmy Uso stepped in on Raw, delivering a heartfelt but blunt pep talk to his brother. He warned that if The Yeet Man kept making mistakes, there was no way he’d walk out as World Heavyweight Champion. Big Jim didn’t hold back, predicting that Gunther would run right through him. However, he added that if Jey truly wanted to win, he needed to tap into his more ruthless side—the Right Hand Man Jey Uso.

Last week, you’ve been hitting that dive for 15 years, Uce. You became a damn joke. Tonight, the kill shot was right there, but you were out there slipping, messing up.

Jimmy Uso to Jey Uso

The Yeet Master has been making multiple slips on Monday Night Raw lately. Last week, he got tangled in the ropes while performing a dive, and this week he slipped while attempting a Spear on Gunther. Such incidents put a huge question mark on the former Bloodline member’s credibility heading to WrestleMania. However, for The Ring General, it is the moment he has promised to the fans all along.

The Austrian powerhouse believes that Uso does not belong in the main event of WrestleMania and all his major wins have been a fluke. However, only time will tell how the 39-year-old prepares himself for the biggest battle of his life. It is going to be interesting to see how this story unfolds with the involvement of Jimmy Uso from here on.

Jimmy Uso slapped Gunther for disrespecting Jey Uso

Jimmy Uso made a bold statement on Monday Night Raw last night. After teaming up with Jey Uso to take down A-Town Down Under, he gave his brother a much-needed pep talk. But that wasn’t all—Jimmy was on a mission to earn Gunther’s respect as well. In a heated confrontation, he delivered a thunderous slap to The Ring General, wiping the smirk right off his face.

Fueled by anger, Big Jim stormed out to confront the World Heavyweight Champion, laying down a challenge for a match next week. Without hesitation, The Ring General accepted—but with one condition: Jimmy had to avoid the same mistakes his brother Jey had been making. That remark was enough to set Jimmy off, and in a flash, he delivered a ruthless slap to Gunther, leaving his face red and rattled.

With that, WWE has made a first-time-ever match official between Jimmy and Gunther for next week in London. Following the debacle with Jey, this match is going to be a pivotal moment in this feud. Also, that slap has angered the World Heavyweight Champion and he would be looking to get his hands on the OG Bloodline member.

Gunther to destroy Jimmy Uso and put on a statement against Jey Uso ahead of WrestleMania?

Gunther is known for being one of the most dominant superstars in WWE right now. His reign as the Intercontinental Champion was filled with numerous vicious moments. However, such intensity has been missing in his World Heavyweight Title run. But he could easily bring back that intensity during his match with Jimmy Uso next week on Raw.

The Austrian star could make a statement by destroying the former Bloodline member. He could demolish his smile and spirits with a vicious assault, leaving him bruised and battered. Gunther might be on a mission to make a point that he will do the same thing to ‘Main Event’ Jey as well at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Such an angle could elevate the World Champion’s ruthlessness while adding more depth to this feud. Moreover, it raises the stakes for Jey Uso heading into WrestleMania. Initially, he was only fighting for the World Title—but now, he’d be battling for his legacy.
