Gunther will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41. While the match is big due to a World Title being on the line, there is no clarity on where it will be placed on the card. WWE veteran Tommy Dreamer recently shared his thoughts about the same.

At WrestleMania 41, Night One will be headlined by the Triple Threat Match between CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. Night Two, on the other hand, will witness the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena as the main event.

In such a scenario, Dreamer explained where fans can expect to see the match between Gunther and Jey placed. During an episode of Busted Open, the former ECW World Heavyweight Champion said:

"Opening match, or as high as it could go, semi main even Jey Uso. The highest it could go is semi." [1:48 onwards]

Ex-WWE employee said Gunther vs Jey Uso opening WrestleMania 41 would be a slap on Royal Rumble winner's face

Former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci was recently present on Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast.

During the episode, Carlucci discussed the idea of Gunther vs Jey potentially opening WrestleMania 41. He also noted that if it did turn out that way, it would be a slap on Jey's face.

"If it's the first match, that's a slap in the face to Jey big time. It cannot be the first match, Yeeting, going crazy. It's just a whole respect factor just starting the show like that and you were the main event and now you're not the main event, that's a big slap, dude," Carlucci said. [17:39 - 17:53]

After Jey won the Royal Rumble 2025, commentator Michael Cole said the Yeet Master would main event WrestleMania. However, it will be interesting to see where WWE places the match between Gunther and Jey Uso at The Show of Shows.
