In the main event of Monday Night RAW, Jey Uso finally won his first singles title by capturing the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Rhea Ripley has reacted to Jey's historic win on Twitter/X.

Since transitioning to a singles wrestler, Jey has challenged for a championship multiple times. He has also failed to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship while Roman Reigns held the title.

Following Jey's victory over Bron Breakker on RAW, Ripley reacted with a one-word message on Twitter/X. Jey has recently allied with The Terror Twins duo of Ripley and Damian Priest.

"YEET! [teary-eyed emoji] #AndNEW!" wrote Ripley.

Jey Uso's victory marked the end of Bron Breakker's first-ever reign as the Intercontinental Champion. He won the title at SummerSlam and successfully defended it against former champion Sami Zayn in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match.

For most of his career, Jey has been a tag team wrestler with his brother, Jimmy Uso. In 2023, The Usos parted ways with The Bloodline before Jimmy betrayed his brother.

This led to Jey jumping ship to Monday Night RAW, where he won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship with Cody Rhodes before entirely focusing on his singles career.
