WWE’s creative direction for the World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 41 might disappoint fans of Jey Uso. According to WrestleVotes, Triple H plans to book a one-sided contest with Gunther decisively retaining his title against the popular challenger.
The reported match structure draws direct comparison to the infamous SummerSlam 2014 bout between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. That contest featured Lesnar dominating the then-champion Cena from the opening moments, executing 16 German suplexes throughout a shockingly one-sided affair.
Lesnar began that match with an immediate F-5 within the first 30 seconds, followed by multiple German suplexes. Despite Cena’s attempts to rally, Lesnar maintained overwhelming control before capturing the World Heavyweight Championship with a final F-5.
