Jey Uso has addressed those who doubt that he will be able to walk away from WrestleMania 41 as World Heavyweight Champion.
Jey Uso shocked WWE fans by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble, eliminating John Cena to secure his place in the main event of WrestleMania 41. Now, he’s set to challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in what he calls the biggest match of his career.
“This is do or die for me,”
Uso told CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri.
“I feel like I am doubted a lot. A lot of people are doubting me right now, Uce. I’m not supposed to be in this position. I know that. They know that. But I’m going to shut them all up.”
Uso’s road to the WrestleMania main event comes after a mixed reaction to his last appearance at “The Grandest Stage of Them All”. At WrestleMania XL, he faced his twin brother, Jimmy Uso, in a highly anticipated match that ultimately left some fans underwhelmed.
“I always thought we put on great matches. If you look at it, we had great matches with The Wyatt Family, The Shield, The New Day. Now, I feel like I’ve had a couple of good matches but not ones that stick in people’s minds. This is redemption time on the big stage. The pressure is on.”
Despite Uso’s optimism, he faces a formidable opponent in Gunther who has held the World Heavyweight Championship for over 200 days and previously held the Intercontinental Championship for a record-breaking 666 days.
