Jey Uso has become the first male star to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match. He qualified after winning the main event tonight on RAW.

Since leaving The Bloodline, Jey Uso has grown to become one of the most popular stars on the WWE roster. He has been involved in many notable storylines since then. However, he has yet to make his singles run count by winning a major title.

Jey recently stated that he planned to win the Money in the Bank ladder match and then cash in his contract to become the World Champion. Before he could qualify for this match, he had to beat Rey Mysterio and Finn Balor tonight on WWE RAW. The match was evenly paced until Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh came out and distracted Rey. Braun Strowman, who has been getting involved in The Judgment Day business, also came out to chase away Dominik and JD McDonagh from the ringside area.

Towards the end of the match, Finn Balor hit the Coup de Grace on Rey Mysterio and went for the pin. However, Jey hit Balor with the splash and pinned him

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
