Jey Uso has been a part of WWE’s main roster for over 14 years and is considered one of the greatest tag-team wrestlers to ever grace the ring. After splitting from his brother Jimmy last year, Jey has been proving himself as a singles wrestler and at long last can call himself a singles champion.
Jey captured the WWE Intercontinental Championship in the main event of the September 23, edition of Monday Night Raw, defeating Bron Breakker. The crowd in Ontario, California was firmly behind ‘Main Event Jey’ from the start with Jey making his entrance through the WWE Universe.
The match saw the quickness and agility of Uso collide with the intensity and raw power of Breakker. There were plenty of near falls in the match, with a spear-splash combo by Jey proving exceptionally close.
In the end, it was a second spear-splash combo that scored Jey the victory and the Intercontinental Championship once held by his father Rikishi.
WWE Superstars React
It’s not just the fans who are pleased to see the YEET Master finally capture gold, as on Twitter, some of Jey’s friends and colleagues celebrated his victory.
Uso’s victory marks the end of Bron Breakker’s 51-day reign that began at SummerSlam 2024 with a victory over Sami Zayn. Breakker retained the title against Zayn on the August 12, edition of WWE Raw in a two-out-of-three falls match.
Since splitting from his family, Jey has been one of WWE’s most popular Superstars, but coming up short in previous title matches (as well as Money in the Bank) had left fans wondering if WWE didn’t see Uso as a champion. Now, those fears can be put to rest as ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso has joined the lineage of the Intercontinental Championship. YEET!
