The lights shine a little brighter on WrestleMania weekend, and this year, WWE is set to deliver an unforgettable event with WrestleMania 41, taking place on April 19 and 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Among the marquee matches on the card, one stands out: the highly anticipated showdown between Gunther and Jey Uso. This match promises to be a pivotal moment in both superstars' careers, as they have been embroiled in a fierce rivalry for almost a year.
Jey Uso earned his shot at the World Championship by outlasting 29 other competitors in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble, making his selection of Gunther as his opponent for WrestleMania a significant choice. The stakes are higher than ever as Uso seeks to claim his first World Championship in WWE, while Gunther aims to maintain his dominance over Uso, having previously defeated him in all three of their encounters.
Historically, Gunther has the upper hand, boasting a perfect 3-0 record against Uso. Their first encounter occurred on February 19, 2024, during an episode of Monday Night Raw, where Gunther successfully defended his Intercontinental title against Uso, thanks to interference from Uso's brother, Jimmy Uso. This interference not only cost Jey the match but also set the stage for their ongoing feud.
The second match took place on May 20, 2024, in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament, where Gunther again emerged victorious, ultimately winning the tournament and solidifying his status as a top contender in WWE. The most recent clash happened on January 25, 2025, at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Gunther defended his World Heavyweight title against Uso, further extending his winning streak against him.
As the two prepare to face off for the fourth time, fans are eager to see if Jey Uso can finally break his losing streak. With the support of the WWE Universe behind him and the adrenaline of WrestleMania fueling his determination, the YEET man looks to turn the tide against the Ring General. Can Jey Uso finally secure his first victory over Gunther and capture the World Championship? The excitement is palpable as the event approaches.
WrestleMania 41 is not just about the Gunther vs. Uso match; it features a stacked card that promises to deliver thrilling action over two nights. Night 1 will kick off with a triple-threat match featuring Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk, while Night 2 will culminate with the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. Fans can catch all the action live on Peacock, starting at 7 p.m. ET on both nights.
In addition to the main events, WrestleMania 41 will showcase a variety of exciting matches, including Jade Cargill vs. Naomi, Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano, and a women’s championship bout featuring Tiffany Stratton defending her title against Charlotte Flair. The card is packed with talent and storylines, ensuring that there’s something for everyone.
As WrestleMania approaches, WWE has also taken the opportunity to celebrate its storied history by releasing a ranking of the 50 greatest WrestleMania matches. This list, unveiled just before WrestleMania 41, highlights iconic matches and rivalries that have defined “The Showcase of the Immortals.” Topping the list is the legendary match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania XXV, a bout that is often regarded as one of the greatest in wrestling history.
Other notable matches featured in the top 10 include Bret Hart vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin from WrestleMania 13, The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan from WrestleMania X8, and Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes from WrestleMania XL. The Undertaker, who holds the record for the most WrestleMania appearances with 27 matches, has secured 25 victories, including an astonishing 21 consecutive wins. These statistics only add to the allure of WrestleMania, as fans reminisce about the moments that have shaped the event over the years.
As WrestleMania 41 draws near, the anticipation is building. With Gunther and Jey Uso set to clash, the question remains: will Jey finally overcome his rival, or will Gunther continue his dominance? The stakes have never been higher, and the WWE Universe is ready to witness history unfold.
In conclusion, WrestleMania 41 is shaping up to be a landmark event in WWE history, with compelling storylines, electrifying matches, and the promise of unforgettable moments.
