Triple H’s Handpicked WWE Star To End Gunther’s Dominance? Exploring The Possibility

Gunther is on a reign of terror after retiring two WWE legends (John Cena and Goldberg) in just one year.

The Ring General has just begun his modern-day Legend Killer dominance, and the fans are already wondering who’ll be the one to put an end to this.

There’s a wild, but strangely logical, world where Jey Uso could be the one who finally takes down Gunther. Jey already owns a huge win over him from their clash at WrestleMania 41, so the story foundation is already there: “I did it once. I’ll do it again.”

In this angle, the key twist is thatJey’s current tag run is just a smokescreen. On TV, he’s bouncing around the tag and mid-card scene, looking like just another guy trying to find his lane again after a failed singles push.

But in reality, it would be Triple H hiding him in plain sight. The moment Gunther retires, more legends and starts calling himself the final boss of WWE, out steps Jey as the one dude who’s beaten him before and isn’t scared to do it again.

Triple H May Pick Jey Uso To End Gunther’s Reign Of Terror

Why do I think this story is plausible? Because the fans rejected Jey Uso, Hunter’s apparent Golden Boy.

The WWE Universe saw on WWE Unreal documentary that the WWE Chief Creative Officer put all his eggs in Jey’s basket by choosing him to be the one to win the Royal Rumble and then the World Heavyweight Championship at Mania this year.

Despite HHH putting everything behind him, like the Bloodline drama, “Main Event” branding, and a WrestleMania 41 push, it still never clicked all the way as the top babyface. Fans cooled off, and it showed.

In my fantasy booking, that rejection becomes canon. HHH, bitter and stubborn, decides he’s going to prove he was right about Jey all along by making him the only man who can take down Gunther when it matters most, and Hunter gets to look smug.

From there, we can also layer this in the “he’s turning into his father-in-law” narrative. Many fans and veterans have already pointed out that Hunter might slowly be morphing into a more calculated, manipulative figure, clearly forcing his vision of the company on the fans, just like Vince McMahon once did.

Handled right, this angle can become an interesting storyline. Gunther stays a monster for a long time, Jey gets a real redemption track that plays off fan backlash instead of ignoring it.

And The Game becomes a more complex on-screen operator, part proud mentor, part stubborn McMahon clone who will force the company into the shape he thinks is best, whether the crowd likes it or not.
