On the March 10 episode of WWE RAW, Gunther attacked Jey Uso after the latter defeated Grayson Waller. In an exclusive video, the current World Heavyweight Champion said he will hurt his WrestleMania 41 opponent and make him suffer, promising him 10 weeks of hell ahead of the mid-April premium live event. Uso emerged as the winner of Royal Rumble 2025 earlier this year and selected Gunther as his opponent for WrestleMania 41.
