Jey Uso’s victory in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble has sparked a mixed reaction from WWE fans.
Some fans celebrated his win, and others questioned his worthiness. They pointed to the high-profile opponents he defeated, including John Cena, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk.
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther is slated to defend his title against Uso at WWE WrestleMania 41. Uso spoke with Alex McCarthy of Daily Mail about the importance of the match.
“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. 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.”
WWE WrestleMania 41 takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, April 19th, and Sunday, April 20th, 2025.
