The build toward the World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 41 gained momentum after Jey Uso emerged victorious in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble. Following a pivotal attack by Gunther on the February 10 episode of Raw, Uso confirmed his decision to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.
During a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing With Russo, former WWE writer Vince Russo analyzed the championship storyline and provided his perspective on the likely outcome.
I think the way they set it up, he has to [beat Gunther]. I’m not saying that’s what I would have done, but the way they set up this story, he has to. I mean, he absolutely has to go over at WrestleMania.
The championship match is scheduled for WrestleMania 41, which takes place on April 19-20. Based on the current storyline developments, the confrontation between these competitors continues to escalate as the event approaches.
