Gunther expresses discontent over WWE WrestleMania 41 plans & matches announced for TNA Sacrifice

Jey Uso has picked the Gunther for WrestleMania after winning the Royal Rumble match

After winning the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble match, Jey Uso picked the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther for WrestleMania 41. This came despite the champion warning Jey not to pick for the grandest stage.

The Ring General voiced his frustration as he now has to battle Jey, and warned the challenger that he will make life ‘hell’ for him leading to Mania. While many fans thought it to be kayfabe new reports hint that the discontent is likely real.

In a recent conversation with Daily Mail, The Ring General gave his honest opinion and voiced his frustration with his WrestleMania title match. Gunther stated that he had no interest whatsoever in battling Jey and instead wanted a legend, someone who is a step ahead of him.

“I’m not interested in wrestling Jey at WrestleMania. I was looking for somebody who is one of the last few remaining guys on the roster that I would say are maybe one step ahead of me, and it would have been nice to be in there with one of them, to bring them down one inch and make a step up.

I think the Rumble was packed like never before. With Jey, there was basically the underdog winning in all of this. But also, on the other hand, he’s maybe the most popular guy we have right now, and people would really want to see him succeed. And they’re strapped in to follow him along this whole ride to WrestleMania now.” Gunther said.

The Ring General acknowledges the immense popularity and fan following that Jey has amassed, noting that fans are fully invested in his journey toward WrestleMania and are eagerly supporting his potential success.
