On the latest episode of WWE Raw, Jey Uso captured the Intercontinental Championship, his first singles title since joining the main roster in May 2010. For many, this is a win that’s been long overdue, and Uso was overwhelmed after Raw went off the air.
In fan-recorded footage from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California, Jey can be seen crying tears of joy following his victory over Bron Breakker. Fans serenaded Jey with a ‘You Deserve It!’ chant, a call that Uso vehemently agreed with.
Jey appreciates those who’ve been with him on this journey and is proud to win the title in front of his home state of California. Jey encouraged any kids at the show to do well in school, work hard and listen to their parents, before giving a one-word message to wrap things up: YEET!
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.
Uso is one of WWE’s most popular Superstars, but coming up short in past title matches as well as Money in the Bank had left many wondering if the company would ever pull the trigger on Main Event Jey. Now, Uso has added his name to the lineage of the Intercontinental Championship in a win that fans and wrestlers are thrilled to see.
