Following GUNTHER’s victory over Jey Uso on the June 9 episode of Monday Night Raw to reclaim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, the WWE landscape is shifting as speculation grows on WWE stars who could replace Jey Uso as the next contender. With Jey losing his grip on the title after winning it at WrestleMania 41, attention has turned to who may rise to challenge The Ring General for the prestigious championship.
New Challengers Step Forward After Jey Uso’s Title Loss
With Jey Uso dropping the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to GUNTHER, many believe it marks a transition point for Jey, paving the way for fresh faces in the title scene. As the Raw roster offers a deep talent pool and a number of potential returnees, speculation is building around who can fill this pivotal challenger role and compete for the top accolade in WWE’s red brand.
Goldberg Poised for a Major Comeback Match
One of the most talked-about potential replacements is WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. At the Bad Blood 2024 event, a heated confrontation between Goldberg and GUNTHER sparked immediate excitement among fans, with many seeing this encounter as the start of a prospective showdown between the two powerhouse wrestlers.
Following this intense face-off, Goldberg made it clear he has been preparing for his in-ring return, aiming to make his retirement match a memorable send-off. Reports have surfaced indicating that Goldberg’s final bout is slated for his hometown of Atlanta at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12. This would mark a fitting stage for an epic conclusion to his celebrated career.
Making the stakes even higher, should Goldberg challenge for the World Heavyweight Title in what is being billed as his retirement match, the event could attract widespread attention as a true marquee contest at Saturday Night’s Main Event, raising anticipation among fans around the world.
Other Potential Contenders on the Raw Roster
Beyond Goldberg, there is a growing list of WWE stars who could replace Jey Uso and rise to challenge GUNTHER for the championship. While specific names are yet to be confirmed, the current roster and the potential for notable returns suggest a dynamic and competitive build-up for the title picture heading into the next WWE Supershow events.
With WWE fans constantly speculating and the company keeping details close, anticipation continues for official announcements on who will ultimately face GUNTHER in the weeks ahead.
The Road to Saturday Night’s Main Event Shapes WWE’s Future
As WWE approaches Saturday Night’s Main Event in July, the intrigue surrounding the World Heavyweight Championship brings renewed excitement to the Raw brand. Goldberg’s potential involvement, especially with a title on the line for what could be his final match in Atlanta, elevates expectations and could result in one of the company’s most memorable main events this year. All eyes remain on GUNTHER, Goldberg, and the rest of the Raw roster as the championship picture evolves in the coming weeks.
