Why Triple H Pulled The Plug On Jey Uso’s WWE World Title Run

One legendary wrestling figure has explained why Triple H was forced to take the World Heavyweight Title off Jey Uso in WWE.

Jey Uso shocked everyone when he captured the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 41 when he made Gunther tap out. But his time at the top didn’t last as long as many might have hoped.

Gunther clashed with Uso in the June 9th edition of Raw’s main event, and The Ring General put the champion to sleep to become World Heavyweight Champion for the second time in his career.

But former WWE manager Jim Cornette thinks Triple H had little choice but to get the gold back around Gunther’s waist.

Triple H Needed To Get Title Back On Gunther

Speaking on his Drive Thru podcast, Jim Cornette explained why Gunther should have the title and said people would start to wonder why Jey Uso was World Heavyweight Champion despite his obvious popularity:

Gunther needs the belt more than Jey Uso does because Gunther needs to keep his heat, Gunther needs to be a monster that needs to be slayed and it’s rare when it happens. Whereas Jey now has had it long enough, as I said, that it wasn’t a fluke but you avoid some blowback because at some point, everybody likes the music, everybody likes the entrance, everybody likes Jey and his promos and the way he sounds and feels, heartfelt.

But sooner or later they are going to start looking at him and go, ‘Wait, Jey’s the World Champion with this roster? With all of these guys?

Jey Uso had a surprising reaction to the loss while Gunther bemoaned the fact that no other WWE stars wanted to celebrate the win with him.
