Jey Uso will have a chance to become a champion for the first time in WWE as a singles competitor. The Yeet Master survived a Fatal Four-Way match in the main event of Monday Night RAW and will get a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.

Jey Uso will face Bron Breakker either on RAW or at a premium live event, and he should expect to face a tough challenge. The reigning champion has been dominant since late April when he moved to the red brand.

Still, Breakker might not be the only challenge that Jey Uso will need to face, as other superstars could also get involved and distract him. With that in mind, we take a look at three stars that could show up in the title match and cost him the championship.


#3. Finn Balor

The leader of The Judgment Day has unfinished business with Jey Uso. Jey has made it clear that he wants to dethrone Finn Balor and JD McDonagh and become a tag team champion again.

At the same time, he has sided with Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley against the faction. Thus, Finn Balor could cost the Yeet Master the title and make a statement, getting revenge on him.


#2. Solo Sikoa

Jey Uso has been linked to a move to Smackdown to reunite with Roman Reigns against Solo Sikoa and the new version of The Bloodline. It is unclear when this will happen, but it should happen soon, as Roman Reigns has returned to WWE after four months off.

Solo could show up on RAW and distract Jey, costing him the Intercontinental Championship and setting the stage for their feud on SmackDown. Should this happen, Jey will be out for revenge on Solo, which could make his transition to the blue brand smoother.

Based on what we have seen so far, Reigns and The Usos could reunite and take on Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline at the Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event in late November.


#1. Dominik Mysterio could cost Jey Uso the Intercontinental Championship

This will be personal after everything that has happened between Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, and Rhea Ripley. Dirty Dom betrayed Rhea at SummerSlam and sided with Liv, setting a new angle in the storyline.

At the same time, Jey Uso has started a romantic storyline with Rhea Ripley, coming to the aid of Mami and Damian Priest against The Judgment Day. Thus, Dirty Dom could interfere in the title match and cost Jey the title, adding more fuel to the feud.

Jey will be out for revenge, and fans could see a mixed tag team match featuring Jey and Rhea against Liv and Dominik. Aside from that, Jey and Dominik have unfinished business since the Yeet Master has faced Dirty Dom on multiple occasions over the past few months.

That said, the most likely scenario is that Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and the rest of The Judgment Day will get involved, adding more fuel to the feud with the Terror Twins.
