Jey Uso is slated to challenge GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 41 on Saturday in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, this match will not be the main event of the first night.
The honor of headlining the first night will go to the triple threat match between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk. Consequently, Uso’s current mindset is that if he can’t go on last, he might as well go first.
Speaking in a WWE vlog on the Road to WrestleMania, Uso expressed his hope of opening the first night.
Uso stated, “Saturday is my day. I’m on the first night, so I really hope – I’m being detailed here – but I really hope I’m on first. Obviously, I wanted to main event. We know that’s not going to happen, which is okay with me. I feel like if you’re on a WrestleMania card, period, that’s something big, man. It took me almost 10 years to even get on the main card. So I’m humble with this, but I just want to go first, night one, if I can, to at least set the tone for sure.”
