Gunther interrupts the moment to tell Jey Uso that he’s disappointed that a potential match between the two doesn’t appeal to him. The Austrian says that Jey can’t even lace up his boots; he goes on to say that he’s always in control, and now, he refuses to do this (face him again) one more time. “Do you know what it means to carry this championship? I’m in the process of building my own legacy, and honestly, beating you at WrestleMania doesn’t add anything to my legacy. Beating Cena, Roman, Punk, would have added something to my legacy.

“So, Jey, the situation here is clear: you have everything to gain, and I have everything to lose. If you choose me, you will force me into the position where I will make your life a living hell week after week, at a level of violence never before seen. I will finish you off like a sick dog. But the good thing is, you have options, and I advise you to consider them ,” Gunther tells Jey Uso, and then prepares to leave.

Jey Uso stops Gunther to have the last word. “I’m going to SmackDown on Friday to talk to Cody. But Gunther, I’m telling you this, Uce, whoever I choose: I enter WrestleMania as the winner of the 2025 Royal Rumble, but I guarantee you, Gunther, that I will leave WrestleMania as the champion. YEET!”
