Overview

  • Jey Uso, the 2025 Royal Rumble winner, will challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship on April 19 at WrestleMania 41 in Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.
  • Gunther enters the title defense with a 258-day reign as champion and a history of three prior victories over Uso, solidifying his dominance in their rivalry.
  • The feud escalated after Gunther bloodied Jey's twin brother, Jimmy Uso, during a Raw episode, fueling personal stakes for the upcoming match.
  • Despite traditional expectations for Royal Rumble winners to main-event WrestleMania, Uso's title match will take place on Night One rather than closing the event.
  • Fan support for Uso has surged, with chants of 'yeet' echoing at pre-WrestleMania events, while Gunther embraces his role as the 'party pooper' determined to spoil Uso's moment.
