Report on why the decision was made to have Gunther defeat Jey Uso for the WWE world title

As seen during the June 9th 2025 edition of WWE RAW, Jey Uso lost the world heavyweight title against Gunther in a rematch from WrestleMania 41. In regards to the decision, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that it was a call made by Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Triple H reportedly wants Bill Goldberg to challenge for the world title in his retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12th.

Meltzer stated the following…

“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. Goldberg is currently scheduled to return on the 6/16 Raw in Green Bay, although the company has not announced it.”

Meltzer added that the Gunther vs. Jey match causing RAW to end later than usual was planned in advance and not the result of time management issues.
