Will Jey Uso “yeet” his way to the World Heavyweight Championship?
The 2025 men’s Royal Rumble winner will try to grab his biggest achievement yet when he challenges Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41. Gunther got the best Uso in January, but Uso will use his championship opportunity to get another crack at “The Ring General.”
A huge fan favorite, Uso has the crowd behind him, but Gunther doesn’t believe his opponent is near the caliber he’s at. He believes Uso is a disgrace to the business and has tried to sneak any attack against him and his brother, Jey. This has forced Uso to prove he’s more than just a hype man, and a more intense version of the star has come out to prove he’s in fact “main event” Jey Uso. Here’s what to know for Gunther vs. Uso:

Gunther vs. Jey Uso WrestleMania 41 prediction
When this match was first announced, it didn’t feel like Uso could be taken seriously as a challenger. But to his credit, he’s made this match much more intriguing and not as one-sided as it once was. Gunther also deserves praise for how good he’s become outside of being a pure, talented wrestler. There’s plenty of juice for the title bout, but no matter what happens, Uso won’t win with the narratives. He puts up a valiant effort and comes close, but Gunther reigns supreme and stops the “yeet” movement. Winner: Gunther.
