Former WWE champion calls out Jey Uso; questions World Heavyweight Title shot

A former champion just called out Jey Uso. He questioned his ability to win the world title.

Grayson Waller called out Jey Uso tonight. Jey shocked the world when he won the 2025 Royal Rumble match, earning himself a shot at the world title at WrestleMania 41. However, Gunther warned Jey not to pick him to face at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Despite this warning, Jey still chose the Ring General.

Tonight on RAW, Gunther tried to send a message to the OG Bloodline member by destroying Akira Tozawa and Otis in the ring. However, Jey came out to make the save. Later on in the night, Jey went to check on Akira Tozawa backstage. Following this, he ran into A-Town Down Under.

Grayson Waller called The Yeet Master a meme, but Jey ignored him by yeeting. This made Waller mad, and he claimed that Jey was not on Gunther's level and would get embarrassed by the Ring General at WrestleMania 41. Jey said that he would prove his doubters wrong at WrestleMania and then superkicked Waller in the face.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
