Jey Uso has gone from ‘Right Hand Man’ to WWE World Heavyweight Champion after winning the gold at WrestleMania 41. In the opener of WrestleMania: Saturday, Uso defeated GUNTHER to win his first World Heavyweight Championship.
You can check out some highlights from the match below:
Uso’s victory marks his first World title and his second singles championship in his 15-year career on WWE’s main roster. The win also marks the end of GUNTHER’s 259-day reign that had begun at SummerSlam 2024 by defeating Damian Priest.
Jey’s victory is the culmination of what many consider one of the most unlikely pushes in the history of WrestleMania season. And while some may bawk at the idea of Jey being in the main event, all will have to recognize ‘Main Event’ Jey as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
