Jay Uso was visibly emotional following his loss of the world title.
The Bloodline star headlined the June 10th episode of Monday Night Raw at PHX Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, where he defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther.
Just days earlier, after participating in an Extreme Tag Team Match at Money in the Bank, Uso was at a disadvantage going into the title defense. As Wade Barrett noted before the match, being a world champion is a significant responsibility.
Uso made a memorable entrance alongside his son, and the reigning world champion gave his all against Gunther. However, Gunther, who had only competed in one match since losing at WrestleMania 41, gained the upper hand and defeated Uso to reclaim the title.
What happened after RAW?
Following the match, the new champion celebrated in the ring as the show concluded its focus on him. The Austrian star left shortly after the cameras stopped rolling, while Jay remained in the arena.
Uso took a moment to speak to the crowd, introducing his son and expressing his respect for Gunther. He also offered some words of encouragement to the kids watching.
Uso’s reign as champion lasted just 51 days with this defeat. Gunther’s victory adds an intriguing twist, especially with Seth Rollins recently winning a Money in the Bank briefcase, granting him the right to challenge any champion at any time.
Fan Take: This title change is a major moment for WWE fans as it shakes up the championship scene right after a big event like Money in the Bank. Gunther’s win sets the stage for fresh rivalries and unexpected challenges, making the future of WWE wrestling even more exciting and unpredictable.
