Jey Uso’s Big Title Win Bittersweet Claims WWE Hall Of Famer

Jey Uso WWE Intercontinental Champion

Jey Uso is the WWE Intercontinental Champion but one Hall of Famer thinks the star’s solo success is bittersweet.

After 14 years as a WWE Superstar, Jey Uso won the first singles gold of his career on the 23rd of September edition of Raw when he defeated Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship.

Jey Uso struck out on his own after being screwed by his brother Jimmy Uso in his quest to become WWE Universal Champion against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2023. Since leaving The Bloodline’s drama behind, Uso has held tag team gold with Cody Rhodes before capturing his latest title. But Uso might be missing something despite his success.

Jey Uso Rocketed To The Moon

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T noted how proud he was of Jey Uso’s success but thinks it might be tinged with sadness for the star without his brother Jimmy by his side:

It’s bittersweet, man, I’m sure for Jey…because he’s not there doing it with his brother. His brother right now is kind of, like, on the sidelines. He’s literally got the rocket put on him…[and] just went straight to the moon.

This ‘Yeet’ thing is over like rover…I’m so proud of him ’cause he stayed the course, he’s done the work, and now, he has been rewarded for it.

Jimmy Uso has been out of action since being viciously kicked out of The Bloodline by Solo Sikoa just days after he lost to Jey at WrestleMania 40.
