Gunther has been the Intercontinental Champion since mid-2022. He is one of the most dominant acts in WWE today. The Ring General has put down a long list of WWE Superstars in his quest to remain Intercontinental Champion.

On the other hand, Jey Uso has been receiving loud reactions on a weekly basis for a long time now. He is as over as he's ever been, and fans want him to dethrone Gunther at WrestleMania 40.

Judging by the events of RAW, it looks like Jey Uso will challenge the 36-year-old for the Intercontinental title at The Show of Shows.

As for Rikishi, the WWE legend will be keeping a close eye on his son on the road to WrestleMania 40. He would love to see Jey pin Gunther at 'Mania and become the new Intercontinental Champion.

Do you see Jey dethroning Gunther?

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
