Jey Uso won his first singles title in September when he defeated Bron Breakker to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Though his reign only lasted 28 days, Jey proved to Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso that he could make it on his own.
Now, he's hungry for more.
"It puts a stamp on you," Jey told Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat when asked about being a singles champion. "Everyone wants it. When you come in as a wrestler, hell yeah you want to hold the WWE Championship one time. World Heavyweight Championship one time. I want to hold that shit. I’ve never thought about being a champ like that until I got the IC Title and 2024 popped off the way it did. It built my confidence and made me believe. Hell yeah, I can be the face."
Asked if he wants to win a world championship, Jey replied, "Yeah, I want the title. I’ll take it off of anybody, just give me the shot. Gunther, where it is? Cody Rhodes, we can run it. I’m going to get the big one. No one believes that, just like they doubted me the whole time. It’s all good. I’m used to that. It’s fuel to the fire. I’m going to get it. I’ll put it out there. I’m main event Jey Uso now. They know me now. Whether it be Bloodline or whatever. I’m that kind of performer where I can stand on my own. Put me in the ring with whoever and we’re going to build each other up. We’re going to cut these promos the way I cut them and we’re going to do work. We’re going to get it."
Jey is currently back with Jimmy, Roman, and Sami Zayn heading into WarGames at WWE Survivor Series against Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Bronson Reed.
