World Heavyweight Champion Gunther is walking backstage. He’ll be out next.
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther addresses the crowd
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther says last week’s Netflix debut was a monumental moment. He was impressed but less impressed with the performances in the ring. Gunther wishes they could have a roster that fulfills those high expectations. Everyone is fighting over a personal drama. Who is the Head of the Table? Who is the Best in the World? Who cares! The only prize worth fighting for is the World Heavyweight Championship.
“Main Event” Jey Uso makes his way to the ring to a big reception. Uso says he wants to step up to Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Drew McIntyre is behind him. The Bloodline family drama is behind him. It’s just him now. Uso challenges Gunther to a World Heavyweight Championship match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Gunther wants to make sure Uso is serious about this. Uso leads the crowd in shouting, “YEET!” Gunther smirks and says he admires his courage. He’d be naive if he thought he could hold the title forever, but Uso is even more naive to think he could take it from him. Gunther wants him to really understand this. They’ve wrestled for the Intercontinental Championship twice, and Gunther beat him twice. Uso is capable of a whole lot less than Gunther is. Uso is funny and entertaining, but when the bell rings, Gunther will expose him for what he is: a really talented tag team wrestler. Uso isn’t on his level. “Main Event” is just a nickname for Uso. Main Event is the place Gunther belongs. Gunther tells him to stick to his YEET and stay out of the championship business. Saturday Night’s Main Event is fine with him, but the choice is up to Uso.
Gunther walks off, and Uso looks conflicted. Uso tells Gunther to hold up. Uso respects Gunther. Everything Gunther said is true. Uso says he wakes up every morning betting on himself because he’s still trying to earn respect. At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Gunther will respect him when he beats his ass for the World Heavyweight Championship. Uso leads the crowd in a loud “YEET!”
