Gunther delivered a stark message to Jey Uso on WWE RAW, asserting that the reigning World Heavyweight Champion’s tenure will conclude in one week. The Ring General detailed his reasoning, pointing to Uso’s current state and commitments.

Gunther approached Jey Uso backstage, stating, “You’re a great guy, Jey. You’re selfless in a very selfish business. What’s the result? One week out, you’re not at 100%.” He further elaborated on Uso’s tendency to support others, referencing potential involvement with CM Punk and an upcoming obligation for Cody Rhodes. “I’m very sure if Punk gets in trouble tonight, you’ll be there for him. And two days before you defend the World Heavyweight Championship against me, you’re set for a tag team match at Saturday Night’s Main Event (Money in the Bank), because it’s important to Cody. Because everyone knows you can depend on your good friend Jey.”

Jey Uso’s recent schedule lends credence to Gunther’s observations. During the June 2, 2025, episode of WWE RAW, Uso partnered with Sami Zayn against Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. That contest dissolved into a disqualification when Seth Rollins attacked Jey Uso, instigating a larger brawl that also drew in CM Punk. This incident is part of an ongoing antagonism involving Rollins, Breakker, and Reed against Uso, Zayn, and Punk.
