WWE RAW witnessed a massive change on the June 9 edition, as Gunther reclaimed the World Heavyweight Championship from Jey Uso. Uso's world title reign ended with this bout as The Ring General regained the title, after delivering a power-packed in-ring action.

The title change marks Gunther's second reign as World Heavyweight Champion after SummerSlam 2024.Some fans have expressed doubts about the choice to have Jey Uso lose the title back to the man he originally defeated, thereby ending Main Event Jey’s 51-day reign. This led the fans to wonder why Gunther won in the first place, and now the real reason behind his win has been revealed. Let’s find out the real reason behind The Ring General’s big win at the recently held WWE RAW in Phoenix.

After Gunther’s World Heavyweight Championship, the real reason seemed to have been revealed. Reports suggest that his win against Jey Uso was nothing but based on WWE’s creative decisions. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Gunther defeating Jey Uso was a decision made by Triple H, who wanted Gunther vs. Goldberg on the July 12 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event to be a title match.

Meltzer specifically wrote the following about WWE: “It was confirmed to us the reason this happened is because Paul Levesque made the call to make Gunther vs.

Bill Goldberg on 7/12’s Saturday Night’s Main Event a title match, likely since it was going on the same day as All In Texas.”He further added, “Gunther vs. Goldberg was always going to be the retirement match, and it was always going against All in Texas and on NBC, with the idea of maximizing that day with the big match not on Netflix but on free network TV.”

Though Dave Meltzer added that the company was planning for a Gunther vs. Goldberg bout to serve as Goldberg’s final match, airing on NBC rather than Netflix, so that it would get the most attention possible on that big day.
