WWE RAW made its last official stop on The Road to WrestleMania 41 this week. An angry Gunther made his intentions clear going into The Showcase of The Immortals, potentially rattling Jey Uso. The Austrian Superstar is now doubling down on a certain statement and teasing a swerve.
The Ring General opened Monday's RAW with an in-ring interview hosted by Michael Cole. The 37-year-old promised to not let Jey ruin his historic run, declaring Uso to be still afraid. Gunther, who may have spoiled Saturday's match finish, then looked forward to telling Jey's mother how much he enjoyed beating her son. A confident Jey later announced that he is crashing out and taking Gunther's title, but is still there for himself and his family.
World Wrestling Entertainment's World Heavyweight Champion is mad and afraid, according to his next challenger. Uso insisted on the red brand show that Gunther was scared, but The Bull From Vienna took to Instagram today to double down on the RAW statement he made about keeping in control.
"I am always in control. #Gunther #RingGeneral #WWE," Gunther wrote with the video below.

WrestleMania will mark the fourth televised singles bout between Gunther and Uso. The Imperium boss retained the Intercontinental Championship over the real-life Bloodline member on RAW in February 2024, then beat him in the King of the Ring semi-finals last May. Their last one-on-one TV bout saw Gunther retain the World Heavyweight Championship at SNME in January.
