[RAW Spoilers] Post Segment: Jey Uso promo

Jey Uso comes out to a thunderous reaction. So nice they had to do it twice.

Talks about how much it means for him to be a singles star and royal rumble winner after 15 years of hard work

Gets interrupted by Gunther who says that he learned as a champion that in order to be a box office attraction he needs to let the crowd believe that he’s barely holding onto his title, when the truth is he is always in control. He says he will no longer play along with Jey Uso.

Beating Jey Uso at Wrestlemania does nothing for Gunther’s career, he’d much rather beat Punk, Cena or Reigns. Says he (Gunther) has everything to lose and nothing to gain, so he lets Jey know that if he chooses Gunther, Jey will also have a lot to lose because Gunther will make every single week a living hell and out on the most brutal display of violence in Wrestlemania history.

Personal opinion : On paper I wasn’t a fan of the match or the decision to give the rumble to Jey. But this promo was really solid. I love that they’re leaning fully into the “this isn’t a Wrestlemania main event match” angle.

Gunther threatening to squash Jey, implying he was only pretending to struggle against Jey to make the match more engaging, and saying he’s done with it and will make Jey’s life miserable if he robs him from an actual mania worthy opponent is honestly such a great storyline idea
