New WWE Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso is feeling grateful after winning his first singles title during the main event of WWE RAW.
Uso ended the 51-day reign of Bron Breakker during this week’s episode of RAW in Ontario, California, in Jey’s seventh singles title opportunity.
Speaking to the fans in Ontario after the show, Jey relished in their ‘You deserve it’ chant and agreed with the sentiment. He said,
“YEET. I deserved it. I deserved it. No, first of all, look, I appreciate everyone who’s been on my journey, uce. I’m happy it happened in front of my home state, California. I promise I’m a big believer in hard work will always pay off. Kids, good grades, kids. Listen to your parents. Say your prayers, man, and I swear, your dreams will come true, just like getting my first championship. The new Intercontinental Champion. If you’re down with Jey Uso being the new I.C. Champ, then let me hear you say YEET.”
Uso had previously challenged for the Intercontinental Championship in February but lost to GUNTHER thanks to Jimmy Uso’s interference.
Jey is a 12-time WWE Tag Team Champion and alongside Jimmy, boasts the record for the longest reign of any tag team champion in WWE.
