Gunther reclaimed the world heavyweight championship by defeating Jey Uso in the main event of WWE Monday Night Raw on June 9th. This intense rematch of their WrestleMania 41 encounter saw Uso previously force Gunther to submit to win his first world heavyweight title. However, tonight, “The Ring General” took back the championship, ending Uso’s 51-day reign.
After a hard-fought, back-and-forth match, Gunther managed to secure his signature sleeper hold on Uso. Despite Uso’s valiant attempts to fight back, he ultimately succumbed to the submission, prompting the referee to call an end to the bout.
This win marks the start of Gunther’s second term as the world heavyweight champion. The Raw broadcast concluded with Gunther celebrating in the ring, accompanied by a fireworks display at the arena.
There has been speculation about WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg making a return during this show to potentially challenge for the title, given his past involvement and storylines from last year’s Bad Blood event. Rumors suggest that Goldberg’s retirement match will headline the upcoming Saturday night event next month.
Fan Take: This title change is a thrilling development for WWE fans, highlighting Gunther’s resilience and solidifying him as a dominant champion. Goldberg’s anticipated comeback adds layers of excitement and nostalgia, promising to create memorable moments that could redefine the sport’s future.
