Triple H Made the Call for Jey Uso to Drop WWE World Title to Set Up Gunther vs Goldberg

Triple H reportedly made the decision for Jey Uso to lose the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in order to set up a blockbuster title match between Gunther and Goldberg. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the plan is for Gunther vs Goldberg to be for the World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night’s Main Event, which will directly compete with AEW’s All In event.

This decision has sparked buzz backstage, as some viewed Jey Uso’s recent title win as the start of a potentially long reign. However, Triple H is said to have prioritized the spectacle and marketability of Gunther vs Goldberg as a marquee title bout over extending Uso’s championship run.

With Goldberg’s rare in-ring appearance and Gunther’s dominance, WWE believes this high-profile clash for the title will draw attention and viewership, especially since it will air the same night as AEW’s flagship pay-per-view event. Fans can expect a heated showdown as WWE and AEW once again go head-to-head in the ratings war.
