One WWE star has sent a strong message after they picked up a huge Raw win at the expense of Gunther.

2025 saw Gunther hold the World Heavyweight Championship for much of the year, in addition to claiming massive wins in the final matches of Goldberg and John Cena’s iconic careers.

The Ring General started off 2026 in a similar vein as he forced AJ Styles into retirement after he defeated Styles at the Royal Rumble. Gunther was unable to win the Rumble match itself on the same night, forcing him to try and go through the Elimination Chamber to book his place at WrestleMania 42.

On the February 16th edition of Raw, Gunther got that chance as he faced off with Dominik Mysterio and Je’Von Evans in a triple threat match to qualify for the men’s Chamber match. To the shock of almost everyone, Je’Von Evans picked up the win when he nailed Mysterio with an OG Cutter. Gunther had been taken out of the match due to an attack from Dragon Lee.

After the match, Evans told the cameras that he’s going to follow up the huge win with one at the Elimination Chamber:

Hey, we got [the] dub (win) tonight. At Elimination Chamber, it’s gonna be the same thing. Big W, big excitement, big fun and big bouncy. Straight like that!
