3 Reasons Jey Uso losing WWE World Heavyweight Championship is a huge mistake

The WWE RAW after Money in the Bank ended with a massive surprise when Gunther dethroned Jey Uso and became the World Heavyweight Champion. This is the second time that the Imperium leader has captured the World Champions.

Gunther lost the title to the Samoan Twin at WrestleMania 41. Since then, the Ring General has been seeking the opportunity to regain the championship. He finally got his rematch on RAW after MITB and managed to put Jey Uso to sleep with a submission hold.

The victory of the Ring General comes as a surprise to many fans. In this article, we will discuss three reasons why the loss of Jey Uso as World Champion could be a huge mistake by the Stamford-based promotion.

#3. Jey Uso lost all his momentum

One of the reasons why the loss of Jey on RAW could be a mistake is that it resulted in the OG Bloodline member losing all his momentum. The YEET Master's popularity is on another level right now, which is evident from the significant YEET chants from the live crowd.

In such a situation, as he suffered the loss of his World Heavyweight Championship, all the momentum would be derailed.

#2. Horrific end to the world title reign

The 2025 Royal Rumble winner overcame all the odds to become the World Champion. However, the way he suffered the loss against Gunther on RAW seems to be a horrific end to his reign.

The Ring General put Jey Uso to sleep and decimated him completely to emerge as the winner. The way the match ended doesn't seem to be a great end for the Samoan star's title reign.

#1. Gunther may eventually lose the title to Goldberg or Seth Rollins

Gunther is now the World Champion, and there are already speculations of him clashing against Goldberg in the veteran star's final match. Many even speculated that this might take place at Night of Champions 2025.

So, with this, Gunther may eventually suffer a title loss against Goldberg in their potential match. If not the 58-year-old star, then Seth Rollins will likely cash in his briefcase and dethrone the Imperium Leader as World Champion.

If this happens, it makes no sense to crown Gunther as World Champion, and this eventually makes Uso's title loss a big misstep.
