Has Jey Uso ever held a singles title in WWE?

Jey Uso is one-half of the eight-time tag team champions, The Usos. They have held the RAW Tag Team Championship three times and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship five times. Their fifth reign as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions was the longest tag team championship reign in the history.

While The Usos have etched their names in WWE as a tag team, Jey and Jimmy Uso have been able to make that impact as individuals in the industry. Even though they have the mic and pro-wrestling skills. The Usos barely saw the light of stardom out of the tag team. As a result of the promotion pushing them as tag teams, Jey Uso has never held a singles title in WWE.

Jey's last singles push for a title was in 2020 when he went up against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell 2020. He couldn’t withstand the wrath of The Tribal Chief and Jimmy Uso had to intervene to stop Roman Reigns from inflicting further damage on his brother.

Jey Uso’s last singles match before tonight's episode of SmackDown was against Sami Zayn on an episode of the blue brand that aired on April 7, 2023.
