GUNTHER just made WWE history again—and Triple H made sure the world knew it.

After choking out Jey Uso in a brutal main event on the June 9, 2025 episode of WWE RAW in Phoenix, Arizona, the Ring General reclaimed the World Heavyweight Championship. It was a savage, physical fight that saw Jey walk in taped up from Bronson Reed’s attack at Money in the Bank, only to be dismantled by GUNTHER’s relentless offense.

Jey fought through a release German suplex on the floor, thunderous chops, a powerbomb, and even a spear. He landed an Uso Splash and almost had it—but GUNTHER refused to fall. In the final stretch, the two went to war in a sleeper-hold exchange. Jey locked one in, but GUNTHER broke out, applied his own—and put Jey Uso to sleep in the middle of the ring.

Then RAW went off the air—and Triple H logged in. The Chief Content Officer dropped a message that put respect where it was due. In a post on Twitter/X, Triple H wrote:

“Capped off a huge weekend for @WWE with a 🔥🔥🔥 main event on #WWERaw. Respect to Main Event (truly) Jey @WWEUsos and congratulations to our NEW World Heavyweight Champion @Gunther_AUT.”

It was short, direct, and real recognition for a match that had fans on edge from start to finish. Jey Uso may have lost the gold, but Triple H made it clear—he’s still Main Event.

GUNTHER’s win not only cements his comeback but also kicks off a new chapter with the World Heavyweight Title back on his shoulder.

Did WWE make the right call putting the title back on GUNTHER—or should Jey Uso have had a longer run? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
