For months Jey Uso was feuding with Gunther and Jey finally stepped up to challenge The Ring General for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 last month. When it was all said and done it was Jey who walked out with the belt, but the rivalry between Jey Uso and Gunther is far from over.
This week on Monday Night Raw, Gunther confronted Jey when he told the current champion that he’s owed a rematch. The Ring General announced that he will be challenging Jey for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the June 9th episode of Raw which left many to wonder why the rematch would take place on Raw instead of a PLE.
During a recent Q&A session on Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge, WrestleVotes was asked about the match and noted that the match is being done to set up a big angle for Gunther.
“I believe the rematch is because Gunther is owed a rematch, and there will be an angle coming out of that involving Gunther. Just a way to get him off the Money in the Bank card and onto a big Monday Night Raw to set something else up.”
Of course Jey Uso will have to get through Logan Paul first as he’s currently set to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against The Maverick at Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24th. Stay tuned for updates.
