WWE RAW after Money in the Bank 2025 concluded with a shocker as Gunther pulled off an upset by defeating Jey Uso in the main event and became the World Heavyweight Champion for the second time.
The Yeet Master’s World Heavyweight Championship reign ended at 51 days. Uso has been a workhorse champion, frequently defending his title against multiple names. However, he fell short in retaining his gold against the Ring General.

#3. Gunther’s supermatch against a legend
Last year, former Universal Champion Goldberg announced that he would compete in his final WWE match in 2025. He was in training camp for a while, which almost appears complete, and his return to Stamford-based promotion might be on the horizon. Night of Champions 2025 will be hosted in Saudi Arabia, and Da Man is one of the stars the Kingdom likes to host.
Moreover, at the 2024 Bad Blood Premium Live Event, Goldberg and Gunther had a confrontation after the Ring General insulted the legend in front of his family and fans. Before things escalated, Triple H got it under control. However, before leaving, the WCW icon confirmed he was coming for the Austrian star next.
While there are multiple conflicting reports on the match taking place, Gunther has won the title back, which could lead to a championship match against Goldberg at Night of Champions 2025.
#2. Jey Uso would join the Bloodline Civil War
The 2025 Money in the Bank PLE saw a major fallout within The Bloodline 2.0 as Jacob Fatu finally snapped at Solo Sikoa. The Samoan Werewolf held Sikoa’s leg, pulled him off the ladder as he was about to unhook the briefcase, and annihilated him by putting him through a ladder at ringside, knocking him out cold.
Sikoa appeared upset as he posted a picture of himself with Jacob Fatu on his official Instagram account, with Jacob's face crossed out, and subtly vowed to get revenge on Fatu on the blue brand. The Tongans might also return, and the Samoan Werewolf could need reinforcements to counter the numbers.
Jimmy Uso could join the civil war against Sikoa and Co. Eventually, Jey Uso could return to the blue brand and join the storyline. This could be another reason the Yeet Master lost his championship so that he could re-enter The Bloodline saga.
#1. Jey Uso could take time off
Jey Uso has been a workhorse since he turned babyface and started his singles run. He has worked a demanding schedule competing at house shows, weekly editions, and almost every premium live event, and he deserves a break to rehab.
Cody Rhodes took some time off after he lost his Undisputed Championship, and returned after a few weeks. Jey Uso also needs a break to gather himself. This could be another reason behind him losing his title. The Yeet Master might go on hiatus and return closer to SummerSlam 2025.
