GUNTHER may be riding the high of retiring Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles all throughout the span of a yr, but the previous World Heavyweight Champion’s last outing at WWE WrestleMania was not very successful, as he dropped the title to Jey Uso by tapping out. During an appearance on “What Do You Wanna Talk About? With Cody Rhodes,” GUNTHER was asked about his loss to Uso, and as an alternative of being upset, he rationalized the match’s end.
“I can swallow my pride, and when it’s over, it’s over,” GUNTHER said. “I actually have no issue with that. If the audience views that as weakness, then allow them to be. It’s alright.”
GUNTHER’s confidence over his rivalry with Uso is probably attributable to the proven fact that he recaptured the World Heavyweight Championship from the wrestler 51 days after their WrestleMania meeting. In a post-match interview following his loss to GUNTHER, Uso shared his respect for the “Ring General.” As an alternative of breaking his rival down, he praised GUNTHER’s athleticism and his professionalism within the ring, though still noting that he wanted the title back. On the time of writing, neither man is within the World Heavyweight Championship scene, but there’s clearly a desire from Uso’s end to perhaps someday revisit their feud.
