Jey Uso finally made it to the top of WWE as a singles champion by winning the Intercontinental Championship, considered the workhorse title in the promotion's history. Main Event Jey also made history after beating Bron Breakker to win the iconic title on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW.
Earlier this year, Jey Uso was close to winning the Intercontinental Championship from Gunther before Jimmy Uso interfered. At the time, The Usos were feuding and this made Main Event Jey's life difficult as a singles star. Earlier this month, Jey became the number one contender and went on to dethrone Bron Breakker.
Today, WrestleVotes pointed out a major fact following WWE RAW. The note stated that Uso and Hall of Famer Rikishi became the second-ever father-son duo to capture the Intercontinental Championship. Main Event Jey's title win added him to a rare and illustrious list alongside Curt Hennig and Curtis Axel.
"Following his Intercontinental Championship win on RAW, Jey Uso & @TheREALRIKISH have become only the second father-son duo in WWE history to both hold the IC title. They now join the legendary Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig & his son, Curtis Axel," WrestleVotes wrote on X.

Jey Uso had a message for the audience following WWE RAW
Many expected Jey Uso's career trajectory to change following a win over Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania XL. Unfortunately, Main Event Jey failed to dethrone Damian Priest for the World Heaveyrigth Championship in France at WWE Backlash.
Regardless, Main Event Jey continued to grind and finally won the Intercontinental Championship from Bron Breakker on Monday Night RAW. After the historic win, he had a few words to share.
"First of all though, I appreciate everyone who's been on my journey, Uce. I'm happy it happened in front of my home state, California. Yeet! But I promise I'm a big believer though that hard work will always pay off. Kids though... good grades kids, listen to your parents, say your prayers man and I swear, your dreams will come true. Just like in my first championship. The new Intercontinental Champion. And if you're down with Jey Uso being the new IC Champion then let me hear you say Yeet!" said Jey.

It'll be interesting to see if Bron Breakker gets a rematch or earns another shot at the title.
