A potential opening match for WrestleMania 41 may have been revealed through recent comments made by Jey Uso. The superstar expressed his desire to be the first bout on the card during night one of WWE’s biggest Premium Live Event of the year.
Jey Uso disclosed his preferences while appearing on the WWE WrestleMania 41 Vlog, confirming his title match against Gunther is scheduled for the Saturday portion of the two-night event.
Saturday is my day. I’m on the first night. I really hope to be the first to wrestle. Obviously I wanted to do the main event, but we know that’s not going to happen, which is all good with me.
The World Heavyweight Championship match between Jey and Gunther is officially set, though its exact placement within the show remains undetermined. Jey further explained his perspective on the matter, showing appreciation for his position on the card regardless of placement.
I feel like being on the WrestleMania card, in any position, is already something big. It took me almost 10 years to get to the main card, so I’m humble with that. But I just want to go first on Saturday night if possible, to set the tone for the show.
WWE has already confirmed the main events for both nights of WrestleMania 41, which takes place April 19-20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The triple threat match featuring CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns will headline Saturday’s show, while Cody Rhodes defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena in Sunday’s main event.
