Jey Uso secured his WrestleMania 41 championship opportunity by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Entering at number 20, Uso competed for 36 minutes before eliminating John Cena to claim victory.
Speaking on the Gigantic Pop podcast, former WWE competitor Matt Morgan shared his analysis of Uso’s championship prospects at WrestleMania 41.
[Does Jey Uso win at WrestleMania?] No. I know it’s a horrible story like not to have him win but he ain’t beating Cody, so it might be against, what’s his name, Gunther, potentially. I can see that because they planted the seeds already if you remember, with Gunther talking down to Jey a lot, calling him a street rat and he sucks, he’s not good enough, he’s not championship material, people confuse him with his brother still, that kinda thing.
Morgan elaborated on Uso’s chances against the World Heavyweight Champion.
So, they did plant that seed. So, I could see him beating Gunther. If it’s Gunther, yes, I could see him beating him.
