Jey Uso Hints at WWE Retirement Ahead of Championship Match

Jey Uso achieved his first World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Gunther at WrestleMania 41, marking a significant milestone in his singles career after years as a tag team star. Despite his popularity and merchandise sales, Uso's victory was met with a surprisingly negative reaction from fans online, as seen in the high number of dislikes on WWE's official video of his celebration. The New Day, former rivals, acknowledged Uso's rise and expressed both support and a desire for recognition of their impact on his journey. Uso has hinted at a future character shift and has openly discussed nearing the end of his wrestling career, stating he feels the years catching up but still has a couple of years left. WWE insiders noted that his win protected Gunther’s image by ending with a submission rather than a pinfall, but emphasized the need to rebuild Gunther’s character after back-to-back losses. As Uso contemplates his legacy and future, speculation grows about potential rematches and new challengers in the World Heavyweight Title scene.
