‘Main Event’ Jey Uso earned the right to challenge a World Champion of his choice at WrestleMania 41 after he shocked the entire world by winning the men’s Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble event on the first day of this month. He was never the favorite to win the Rumble match and his win will definitely go down as one of the most shocking Royal Rumble wins in history.
Jey was already having a feud with the present World Heavyweight Champion Gunther for the title, but ‘The Ring General’ beat him multiple times already, even at the most recent Saturday Night’s Main Event. It looks like Jey would cash in a Royal Rumble win to challenge Gunther again but this time at WrestleMania 41.
Jey Uso Explains Why it is Really Important For Him To Win The World Title At WrestleMania 41
It is yet to be declared whom Jey would challenge at the Showcase of The Immortals but it is easy to guess that Gunther will be the name the Yeetman would choose. Jey recently spoke with “Daniel Cormier" where he explained the importance of his WrestleMania and why he needs to win it. Here is what he had to say;

"Hopefully man, I will get this W. I don't know who I'm going against uce, but my dad was never world champ, you know my uncle Umaga was never world champ. It was only Roman Reigns and Yokozuna, and to win the Royal Rumble was only Roman Reigns, Yokozuna and The Rock too.

Some fans are complaining that there is not enough build up for this feud before Royal Rumble since this is going to be a World title match at the Grandest Stage of Them All, but we can definitely expect a great match. It may look quite predictable that Jey Uso would be winning the World title, but since it is WrestleMania, things may get more unpredictable than we can expect.
