Gunther declares war on The Bloodline
Gunther and Jey Uso have battled for months, and now they will look to bring the house down for the WWE Universe at WrestleMania 41. Uso is determined to become World Heavyweight Champion, and Las Vegas may be the perfect place for the special moment to go down. The Bloodline is always nearby if family needs them, and the former WALTER is aware of this as he issues a warning for WrestleMania.
The Ring General has managed to deal with just Jey Uso for the most part in recent months and not The Bloodline as a group. Gunther did decimate Big Jim on RAW in an angle that drew strong numbers, and he has a storied past with Sami Zayn, but has never dealt with Roman Reigns in such a setting.
WWE's Bull From Vienna isn't worried about The Bloodline being on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Steve Fall of Ten Count Media reports that Gunther spoke to the media and declared war on a certain few members of Main Event Jey's family: Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn. As the interview wrapped, the Imperium boss was asked if he's nervous about Jey's Bloodline family being nearby.
"I'll make all the other ones bleed, too. [smirks] Don't you worry," he said. [From 3:48 to 3:51]
The Tribal Chief is booked to headline WrestleMania Saturday in the Triple Threat with CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Jimmy and Sami have not been announced for 'Mania matches as of this writing, and the same goes for Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. Jacob Fatu will challenge United States Champion LA Knight.
