Previously, Jey failed to win a singles championship on six separate occasions. Earlier this year, at Backlash France, he was unable to beat Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He unsuccessfully challenged Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship on RAW and in multiple live shows.
After Uso finally won his first singles title in WWE, Jey's father, Rikishi, reacted by sending a message to Rhea Ripley. Jey and Ripley have allied in recent weeks amid The Terror Twins' feud with The Judgment Day.
