In tonight's episode of WWE RAW, Jey Uso will lock horns with Gunther in the semi-final match for the King of the Ring 2024 tournament. The excitement is already ignited among the WWE Universe as they are eager to see who advances to the finals of the prestigious tournament.
However, in this article, we will discuss four reasons why the YEET Master must lose tonight's King of the Ring semi-final match on the red brand.
#4. His victory could lead to more backlash from fans
Trending
Jey Uso secured a victory over Ilja Dragnouv in last week's quarter-final match, with the crowd firmly behind Main Event Jey. However, fans on the internet criticized Uso's win, arguing that the Mad Dragon deserved the victory instead.
So, if Jey Uso wins tonight's match against Gunther, he could face even further backlash from fans. This backlash could potentially affect his long-term plans in the company. Therefore, it might be better for Jey Uso to lose in tonight's King of the Ring 2024 match.
#3. Jey Uso just had a World Title shot
At Backlash France, Jey Uso challenged Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship but fell short despite his efforts. With a recent shot at the World Title, winning the King of the Ring tournament may not be a necessity for him at this moment.
Moreover, reaching the semi-finals already demonstrates his capability, and a loss at this stage wouldn't necessarily hurt his momentum heading into his next feud. Therefore, it might be beneficial to let the Ring General advance to the finals on tonight's RAW, potentially setting him up for his first World Title opportunity in the company.
#2. The YEET Master could re-enter The Bloodline Saga soon
With each passing week, the developments in The Bloodline Saga suggest that Jey's return to the Samoan storyline is imminent. This was even hinted at Backlash France.
So, if the company intends to bring the Samoan twin back into the fold of The Bloodline, he does not have to advance to the finals of the tournament. Doing so would simply squander an opportunity that could be better utilized for someone else.
Therefore, this provides another compelling reason why the 38-year-old star should lose in the King of the Ring semi-finals on RAW tonight.
#1. Gunther can't afford to lose tonight
Despite losing the Intercontinental Championship, Gunther is still riding high on a wave of momentum. He secured a hard-fought victory over Sheamus in the first round, which set the stage for a clash between Kofi Kingston and the Imperium Leader, where Gunther once again asserted his dominance.
Even during his declaration of entering the KOTR, the former IC Champion expressed his desire to win this tournament.
With all these factors considered, it seems that the Ring General can't afford to lose tonight against Jey Uso. Such a loss would likely derail his momentum and hinder his path to becoming a dominant contender for a future World Title shot.
