Jey Uso made his first appearance as the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble winner on RAW. During his address to the audience, he expressed gratitude to his fans and family while reflecting on his unexpected singles career trajectory. Before he could continue, Gunther interrupted the celebration.
The Ring General dismissed the possibility of defending his championship against Jey at WrestleMania 41, stating it would not enhance his legacy. Additionally, Gunther warned that choosing him as an opponent would result in consequences leading up to the premium live event.
Current storyline patterns suggest this interaction could lead to escalating tension between both competitors. Based on recent developments, Ludwig Kaiser’s current position may become a focal point in this narrative, particularly given his recent setbacks, including his quick elimination at Royal Rumble and loss to Penta on RAW.
The trajectory of events indicates potential developments in the World Heavyweight Championship picture as WrestleMania season progresses. The ongoing situation between Kaiser and Gunther adds another layer to this evolving story, pointing toward possible shifts in the Imperium dynamic.
“If you pick me, every week is going to be hell — with WrestleMania being the most horrific display of violence this business has ever seen.”
