This coming April, GUNTHER will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against the 2025 Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41. Since Uso selected “The Ring General” as his opponent, each men have engaged in heated promo battles and viscous brawls with one another, with GUNTHER amping up his heel qualities now that a fan favorite like Uso is the primary contender. Nonetheless, any individual that did not consider that GUNTHER had potential to achieve the highest of the cardboard in WWE was none aside from Uso’s real-life father Rikishi, who recently credited the World Heavyweight Champion for his work and retracted his previous thoughts about him on “Off The Top.”
“Congratulations to GUNTHER. I used to be incorrect about GUNTHER earlier and I’ma man up because I didn’t see GUNTHER as being a most important player but obviously there’s things that I do not see because I’m not on the road with them, I do not see the work ethic of this guy, I do not see the professionalism of this guy. I’m a fan of GUNTHER, I see his work, he’s an actual good heel … GUNTHER has to feel just as excited as Jey is because if I’m not mistaken that is GUNTHER’s first WrestleMania most important event.” Rikishi said. “This implies just as essential to GUNTHER than it does to Jey, but on the flip side, for either side of the family, all of us rooting for them two to get on the market and steal the show.”
Rikishi stated that his son might want to do his homework if he desires to defeat GUNTHER at WrestleMania 41, and prays for the health of each competitors heading into this years event, sharing that he wants them to benefit from the moment.
