Bully Ray Predicts Intense Showdown Between GUNTHER and The Usos

NEW YORK, April 5, 2025 — After his surprising victory at the Men’s Royal Rumble in January, Bully Ray is now eagerly anticipating an upcoming match between GUNTHER and The Usos, following a dramatic segment on WWE‘s ‘Raw’ last week.

During the recent broadcast, Jey Uso‘s brother, Jimmy, faced off against GUNTHER, the reigning champion. The match ended poorly for The Usos, with GUNTHER delivering a brutal attack on Jimmy after tying Jey to the ring ropes, ending the segment with the champion covered in Jimmy’s blood. This shocking display has heightened anticipation for their upcoming bout.

Bully Ray, speaking on ‘Busted Open Radio‘, praised the segment for its old-school wrestling intensity. “This was some good, old school heat,” he remarked. “What they did has been done before in wrestling. It’s not new, but that doesn’t matter. It’s about the characters that are involved.” His enthusiasm for GUNTHER has escalated, as he highlighted the Austrian’s talent for enhancing his opponents’ performances.

The WWE Hall of Famer noted Jey Uso’s fierce demeanor during the attack. “I thought it was very effective. The WWE does not use blood very often,” Bully said. “I liked GUNTHER putting the blood all over his body, tasting the blood, spitting it out.” The graphic imagery not only intensified the feud but also showcased the emotional stakes involved.

As the company builds toward WrestleMania 41, Bully Ray’s insights reflect a broader context of audience engagement and storytelling within WWE. The impact of such moments can significantly influence fan investment in upcoming matches. Bully has long supported GUNTHER, admires his in-ring abilities, and believes he can elevate any match.

“The way they’ve built this, it’s a great way to keep everyone engaged,” he added. “With Jey’s rage and Greg’s brutality, you have a recipe for a highly anticipated showdown.”

Fans are now looking forward to how the narratives intertwine leading into WrestleMania, particularly as the intrigue surrounding GUNTHER and The Usos deepens. The developments in ‘Raw’ not only ramp up rivalries but also illustrate the importance of character narratives in professional wrestling.
