Jey Uso, a prominent figure in WWE after his departure from The Bloodline, faced Gunther this week on RAW in a King of the Ring Tournament semifinal. Despite his success as a singles star, wrestling veteran Vince Russo expressed dissatisfaction with how WWE is handling The YEET Master.
Russo highlighted WWE’s booking decisions, pointing out that Gunther’s victory over Uso places him below Sami Zayn in the company’s hierarchy due to Gunther’s prior loss to Zayn at WrestleMania. Russo also criticized WWE’s treatment of Gunther since losing the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL.

Gunther is set to compete against the winner of Randy Orton vs. Tama Tonga in the tournament finals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The creative team’s choices are seen as detrimental to Jey Uso’s standing in WWE by pushing him down the ranks with questionable booking decisions, according to Russo’s analysis on UnSKripted podcast.
