ORLANDO, FL — The road to WrestleMania 41 just got hotter—and far more dangerous. WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER sent shockwaves through the wrestling world after a brutal backstage assault on Bloodline member Jimmy Uso—an attack so vicious, even real-life Bloodline legend Rikishi weighed in.
The Attack: GUNTHER’s “Hellish” Message
During last night’s SmackDown, GUNTHER ambushed Jimmy Uso in a dimly lit corridor, delivering a devastating powerbomb onto steel steps. The Ring General then leaned down and growled:
“This is just a taste. Welcome to hell, Bloodline. WrestleMania will be your funeral.”
The assault mirrored GUNTHER’s recent promo where he vowed to “burn the Bloodline’s legacy to ash.”
Rikishi FIRES BACK on Social Media
Jey Uso will challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 in hopes of winning his first world championship. The Yeet Master is a multi-time tag team champion, but his only singles championship accomplishment was holding the Intercontinental Title last year.
The Samoan dynasty wasn’t silent for long. Rikishi, father of Jimmy and Jey Uso, posted a since-deleted Instagram Story showing a clip of GUNTHER’s attack with the caption:
“Boy, you just woke the whole damn family. #BloodlineBusiness”
Fans speculate this could hint at a WrestleMania showdown—or even Rikishi stepping in as an enforcer.
WrestleMania 41 Implications
With GUNTHER’s path unclear (will he face Jimmy? Solo Sikoa? Or even Roman Reigns upon his rumored return?), one thing’s certain: The Bloodline’s dominance is under siege.
🔥 Fan Reactions:
- “GUNTHER vs. Bloodline is the biggest WM41 story no one saw coming!”
- “Rikishi better hit the stinkface on GUNTHER ASAP.”
- “If Reigns returns to save Jimmy, I’ll lose my MIND.”
What’s Next?
Will The Bloodline retaliate on Raw? Could this lead to a GUNTHER vs. Solo Sikoa IC Title match? Stay tuned—WrestleMania season just got personal.
