Jey Uso defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther this week on RAW. It was an intense contest between the two men, with both trading their best shots and giving it their all.
Shockingly, it was Gunther who picked up the victory, winning the title by choking his opponent out. In doing so, he reclaimed the championship he lost at WrestleMania 41. It also marked the end of Jey’s first world title reign as World Heavy-YEET Champion.

The YEET man then heaped praise on The Ring General, calling him one of the best athletes he has ever had the pleasure of wrestling. He then vowed to come back stronger and run it back for the title.
Uso concluded his promo by stating how blessed he felt to be living his life. He called it a dream and promised his fans that he would never take it for granted. He then did his “four letters, one word” gig as the crowd joined him.
Uso’s Meteoric Rise To The Main Event
“Main Event” Uso truly kicked off when he won the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. He recently gave an interview where he opened up about where he is in his career and what it took to get here. He also talked about his massive popularity with fans and how his energy has risen to another level.
“You can’t go out there on live TV like I do and move the crowd. That’s me now,” Uso said. “I shake arenas, bro. The damn ground under your feet will be shaking when my entrance is out. That’s the levels I’m at, and I’m gonna stay there. I’m learning, I’m learning as I go. In this business, you stop learning or stop evolving, you out.
“There’s a hundred other dogs waiting outside the door, ready to eat you up. You’ll have to come to the top and get me, though. They watched me work. They raised me up. They watched me, from this tag team guy, from the first Royal Rumble entrance, nothing, to damn boom, I’m winning now.”
Jey won the World Heavyweight Championship in an emotional contest at WrestleMania 41. It was a great reign as champion, and we look forward to seeing what he gets up to next.
