This week’s Raw featured a tense face-off between Pat McAfee and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. The Ring General pressed the former NFL star for his thoughts on his upcoming WrestleMania clash against Jey Uso. After some hesitation, McAfee admitted that he believes ‘Main Event’ Jey would emerge victorious on The Grandest Stage of Them All—leaving Gunther furious.

The World Heavyweight Champion glared at McAfee with fury in his eyes, his expression dark and menacing. Just as tensions reached a boiling point, Uso stormed to the ring, ready to confront his WrestleMania opponent. An intense brawl erupted between the two, forcing The Ring General to retreat. For McAfee, it was a moment of relief as he celebrated with The Yeet Master in the aftermath.

Moreover, The Ring General didn’t hold back in his bold remarks about Jey Uso. He claimed that despite all of Uso’s success, the 39-year-old is nowhere near his level. Gunther went even further, stating that he feels disgraced to be defending his World Championship in the main event of WrestleMania against someone like Jey.

It was evident that the Austrian powerhouse was trying to get under his opponent’s skin ahead of their high-stakes showdown. Adding to the mind games, Gunther made his entrance through the crowd, mocking both ‘Main Event’ Jey and the WWE Universe. With their rivalry intensifying, all eyes are now on one burning question—can Jey Uso dethrone The Ring General at WrestleMania?

Taking to X, the Austrian superstar mockingly gave Uso credit for his constant involvement with the fans. He claimed that the WWE Universe carries a bad smell he couldn’t tolerate for long. Therefore, if the 39-year-old can stand being around such an odor, he certainly deserves some credit, the World Heavyweight Champion sneered.

I have to give Jey some credit… I don’t know how he stands the putrid smell of these people in the crowd every week.

Furthermore, The Ring General believes he has already defeated Jey Uso multiple times in WWE and sees no reason why Uso deserves another shot, especially on a stage as grand as WrestleMania. However, ‘Main Event’ Jey is determined to defy the odds and end Gunther’s dominant reign. With less than 60 days until The Show of Shows in Las Vegas, all eyes are on how this high-stakes battle will unfold.
