Gunther Reclaims Glory by Defeating Jey Uso in Brutal Raw Rematch
Wow, what a night it was on June 9, 2025, during Monday Night Raw! The WWE Universe witnessed an absolutely gripping main event where Gunther, “The Ring General,” reclaimed the World Heavyweight Championship in a high-stakes rematch against Jey Uso. This was more than just a battle—it was a war of endurance, heart, and strategy.
Now, let’s talk about the build-up. Jey Uso came into this match as the defending champion, having dethroned Gunther at WrestleMania 41 in an epic showdown. But heading into Raw, Uso was still nursing injuries from a grueling Money in the Bank weekend. Meanwhile, Gunther was fresh and laser-focused—dangerous signs for anyone stepping into the ring with him.
Right from the opening bell, Uso brought the fire. He knew what was at stake. You could see the intensity in his eyes and feel the energy in the arena. He managed to rattle Gunther early, landing a spear and following up with the iconic Uso Splash for a near fall. It looked like he might retain the title… but this is Gunther we’re talking about.

Gunther, as methodical as ever, zeroed in on Uso’s injured ribs. The wear and tear started to show, and the momentum slowly shifted. Even when Gunther got hit with another spear, he absorbed it like a true warrior and came right back with a spear of his own. And then came the decisive moment—the sleeper hold.
In a poetic twist, Gunther used the very same move that cost him the title at WrestleMania to now win it back. He locked it in deep, and even though Uso fought hard, his body gave out. The referee called the match, and just like that, Gunther became a two-time World Heavyweight Champion—the first to do so since the title’s inception in 2023.
It’s worth noting that Gunther originally won the championship at SummerSlam 2024 and held it for an incredible 258 days. After briefly losing it in April, he’s now reclaimed it in under two months, proving his dominance in the WWE landscape. As for Jey Uso, his reign lasted 51 days—a respectable run, but this defeat will sting.
This match wasn’t just about a title change. It told a story—of resilience, revenge, and the unrelenting pursuit of greatness. Gunther reminded us all why he's one of the most feared and respected names in professional wrestling today. And for Jey Uso? This may be a setback, but knowing him, it’s just the beginning of a fiery comeback.
The WWE Universe is buzzing, and with Night of Champions just around the corner, the stakes are only going to get higher.
