Kevin Nash believes this WWE star doesn’t need a WrestleMania win.
After shockingly winning the 2025 Royal Rumble, Jey Uso is set to face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, NV.
John Cena, meanwhile, earned the opportunity to challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship when he won the Elimination Chamber on March 1st. Cena shocked the world following his victory, attacking Rhodes and turning heel for the first time in over 20 years.
Speaking on the latest edition of Kliq This, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash gave predictions for WrestleMania 41, addressing both blockbuster title matches. He said:
“They’ve painted him [Jey Uso] super strong, almost to the point of it’s not believable that Jey’s going to go over, so then it means Jey’s going to go over … or do you keep the heel? You can’t have a bunch of babyface champs. I don’t think that Cody’s going to lose at Mania. I don’t think that’s the last thing you’re going to see that night, unless the Rock‘s involved somehow into the in the finish.”

Continuing, Kevin Nash explained that he expects Gunther to retain his World Heavyweight Championship as a loss would hurt him more than it would hurt Jey Uso at this stage in their careers.
“I think GUNTHER goes over. I think it’s a hell of a match and I think GUNTHER goes over … I don’t think it hurts him to lose, did it hurt Rocky to lose in Rocky 1? This is the first time Jey’s been to this level. So if he comes up short and he gets f***ed … I think that it would hurt GUNTHER and I think Jey’s bulletproof.”
