Jey Uso had a surprising reaction in front of WWE fans after he lost his World Heavyweight Championship on Raw.

Jey Uso shocked everyone when he captured the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 41 when he made Gunther tap out.

Since then, Uso has managed to repel the challenge of Logan Paul before he got caught up in John Cena’s antics. Jey Uso teamed with Cody Rhodes to defeat Cena and Paul at Money In The Bank in a bout that will best be remembered for R-Truth making his surprise return to WWE.

After being distracted by a match with Raw announcer Pat McAfee, Gunther was back on the hunt to reclaim his World Heavyweight Title and got his chance to do so on the June 9th edition of Raw.

Gunther clashed with Uso in the night’s main event, and The Ring General put the champion to sleep to become World Heavyweight Champion for the second time in his career.

Jey Uso Has Nothing But Respect For Gunther

Footage has now emerged on social media of what happened after Raw went off the air as an emotional Jey Uso addressed the crowd as he introduced his son and had nothing but good things to say about his opponent:

Gunther is that dude. One of the best athletes, one of the best promos I’ve ever stepped foot in the ring with. At the end of the night, I’ve got a hella respect for that man. Give it up for Gunther.
