Jey Uso shocked the world by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble, securing a WrestleMania 41 title shot against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. But while Royal Rumble winners are promised a main event spot, history has shown that isn’t always the case.
For Uso, though, it doesn’t matter when his match takes place—he’s determined to make it unforgettable.
“WrestleMania, night one or night two, whichever match I’m on. I don’t care if I’m on last, I don’t care if I open it up. I’m going to go out there and they’re going to remember my match, so that’s all I’m focused on,” he told Alex McCarthy of Daily Mail.
He knows opportunities like this don’t come around often, and he’s treating it like his biggest moment yet. “This is a once in a lifetime shot. That’s how I’m looking at it, because this might not ever, ever come back around in my career.”
With WrestleMania 41 fast approaching, WWE has yet to confirm the match order for either night. While the spotlight is firmly on The Rock, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns, Uso’s showdown with Gunther could be the dark horse that steals the weekend.
