Gunther is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41. The ¡®Yeet Master¡¯ earned the right to challenge him for the title by winning the Royal Rumble Match 2025. The feud has failed to live up to expectations so far. Moreover, it has been overshadowed by the angle between John Cena and Cody Rhodes.? An analyst has now weighed in on this feud¡¯s shortcomings and offered a solution to these issues. .?
?Jey Uso and Gunther¡¯s bitter rivalry set to end at WrestleMania 41 where the two men will meet on ¡®The Grandest Stage of Them All¡¯.?
The WWE is projecting this as a David vs. Goliath story with Jey trying to finally get the better of his rival after three failed attempts. However, the reception has not been as good as expected. According to Raj Giri, a pro wrestling analyst and the founder of Wrestling Inc, the feud has felt a ¡®little redundant¡¯. He feels that the nearly three-month gap between Royal Rumble 2025 and WrestleMania 41 too has not worked in the rivalry¡¯s favour.?
"It's been a little redundant. There is a longer period than usual between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania this year, so a lot of the weeks have felt the same," he told Indiatimes.
Giri also feels that a few interview segments between the two can help the feud get back on track.?
"It would be good for them to mix it up with some one-on-one sit-down interviews and things like that," he added.?
The booking of this rivalry has also been criticised for being too repetitive. On most occasions, Gunther has ambushed Jey Uso and laid him out. It remains to be seen if it picks up steam ahead of WrestleMania 41.?
Gunther, meanwhile, is set to take on Jey¡¯s brother Jimmy on Raw next week. The match was made official after Jimmy slapped ¡®The Ring General¡¯ on this week¡¯s edition of the Red Brand. Jey is expected to ringside for this one.?
