Gunther Challenging For WWE Championship

Gunther has set his sights on reclaiming his World Heavyweight Championship as he makes a huge announcement on WWE Raw.

At WrestleMania 41, Gunther lost his World Heavyweight Title to Jey Uso after Uso made him tap out with his own sleeper hold. As WWE fans taunted The Ring General afterwards about his loss, Gunther took his frustrations out on Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

That led to an unlikely match between Gunther and McAfee at Backlash, which the Austrian star won after putting McAfee to sleep.

Meanwhile, Jey Uso has had his own issues to deal with. Uso has suffered sucker punches in consecutive weeks from Logan Paul. After Paul defeated AJ Styles at WrestleMania, he set his sights on winning the World Heavyweight Title and will get his shot at the gold at Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24. And Gunther will be waiting.

Gunther Gets WWE Title Shot

On the May 12 edition of Raw, Gunther confronted Jey Uso, telling the World Heavyweight Champion that he had secured a title shot for the June 9 edition of Raw in Phoenix. That means he will face whoever wins the SNME bout between Uso and Paul.

Jey Uso’s night got worse later on as he was the victim of an attack by Bron Breakker after Breakker was given an assignment by Seth Rollins.
