Jey Uso changed the trajectory of Monday Night Raw this week. After years of striking out, ‘Main Event’ Jey finally captured a singles title. What transpired in the main event of Raw was nothing short of legendary. Uso, in a hard-fought match, successfully defeated Bron Breakker to become the new Intercontinental Champion.

It was a back-and-forth war between two of the biggest stars on Raw. They went against each other with full force, with Breakker underestimating Uso throughout the bout. However, the latter proved himself by having a counter to everything the champion threw at him. In the closing moments of the match, the former Bloodline member delivered a wicked spear followed by an Uso splash to put an end to the reign of the Dawg of WWE.

As the referee hit the three-count, the crowd went into a frenzy by grooving to the music of the YEET Master. For a few seconds, Uso himself was in disbelief. He only came to the realization when Samantha Irvin announced him as the new Intercontinental Champion. The WWE Universe was behind Jey as he basked in the glory of his first singles title win of his career.

The show ended with Jey Uso rushing towards the fans to soak in the energy from the crowd. ‘Main Event’ Jey has had an illustrious tag team run in WWE. However, a singles championship was always a missing piece in his gauntlet. Hence, this win must’ve meant a whole lot to not only the 39-year-old star but also his family.
