WWE World Champion Gunther warned Jey Uso after brutally attacking Jimmy Uso on RAW.
Last week, Jimmy Uso confronted The Ring General after mocking Jey Uso’s recent mistakes. He slapped Gunther and issued a challenge for a match. Before their clash on WWE RAW, Jimmy expressed confidence in his ability to defeat Gunther, assuring Jey that he would do the same at WrestleMania 41. However, Jey Uso showed concern and urged Jimmy to be careful.
Jey’s concerns proved valid as Gunther dominated and secured a victory over Jimmy with a sleeper hold. He continued his assault following the win, forcing Jey to rush to his brother’s aid. As Jey checked on Jimmy, Gunther initially backed off, but before The Usos could leave, he launched a surprise attack.
Gunther sent Jey Uso crashing into the steel steps, then restrained him by tying his wrists to the ropes with a zip tie. With Jey trapped, Gunther turned his focus to Jimmy, who struggled to stay on his feet.
He smashed Jimmy Uso with the World Heavyweight title, making him bleed, then locked in a sleeper hold forcing Jey to watch helplessly. After releasing the hold, Gunther left Jimmy Uso motionless in the ring while Jey remained tied up, unable to help.
Following the brutal beatdown, Gunther sent Jey Uso a chilling warning. Speaking on WWE’s Instagram, The Ring General declared: “You’re not on my level. You never will be. Your last warning till WrestleMania, ’cause if you don’t step back from the challenge, WrestleMania is going to be your funeral.”
Jey Uso addresses fans doubting him, says he’s going to shock the world again
During last week’s WWE RAW Recap podcast, Jey Uso was asked about the discourse surrounding him heading into WrestleMania, with many fans questioning if he belongs in the world title match.
“All I know is, Uce, I’m in a job where I do get critiqued a lot,” he said. “Gotta have tough skin. Gotta know how to take criticism. At the end of the day, though, I’m human too. I bust my ass to get to this spot. I’m telling you right now, I’m going to take it. Doubt me now. Do what you do. I got my fans behind me, Uce. I got my brothers, my family behind me.
“That’s all I need right now. I’m telling you, I’m going to shock the world twice. I’m shocking the world two times. I tripped and fall, had a little bit of stumble, but you know me. I’m gonna catch myself and come right back up, Uce. That’s always been my career. That’s me. They saw me come from the bottom, and I’m still trying to eat. I’m still trying to go out there and get it. Still trying to prove myself every single week. That’s that.”
