Jey Uso had the choice of a lifetime to make and now he’s confirmed his choice as the first match of WrestleMania 41 has now been confirmed.

Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble to the surprise of many by last eliminating John Cena from the 30-man match. That guaranteed Uso a title match at WrestleMania 41 leaving him with a huge choice to make.

Uso had appeared on SmackDown where he came face-to-face with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Rhodes and Uso had previously held tag team gold together but Rhodes was ready to set their friendship aside if Uso wanted to try and take his title back to his family.

On the February 10 edition of Raw, World Heavyweight Champion Gunther let his actions speak louder than words.

Gunther attacked Jey Uso to open the show but the champion sealed his fate in the process. As The Ring General was led away by referees and security, Jey Uso took the microphone and confirmed he was challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41. An incensed Gunther tried to storm the ring but Uso took out him and security with a huge dive to the outside.

This likely means that the winner of the Elimination Chamber will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. John Cena is widely expected to challenge Rhodes in his quest to win his 17th world title.
