Jey Uso reflects on pivotal moment in WWE career: From Tag Team to Intercontinental Champion

Send Push
In a significant career transition, Jey Uso has emerged as one of the top stars in WWE after breaking away from The Bloodline in September 2023. After over a decade spent primarily as a tag team wrestler, Uso took the leap into singles competition , where he has quickly established himself as a fan favorite and achieved remarkable success.

Despite his long tenure in tag team wrestling, Uso’s shift to a solo career came with uncertainty. He faced the daunting challenge of proving he could thrive independently in a competitive landscape. “Having been a tag team wrestler for over a decade, Uso was understandably apprehensive,” reflecting the fears many wrestlers experience when embarking on a new journey. However, he quickly turned skepticism into success, becoming one of the biggest babyfaces on the Raw roster.

One of the most significant milestones in Uso's newfound singles career came when he won the Intercontinental Championship , marking his first singles title in 14 years on the main roster. This victory solidified his status as one of the top contenders in the company.





A key moment in Uso’s career came during the Backlash event held in France in May 2023, where he delivered a viral entrance that gave his fans something to talk about on their ride back home. Speaking with Alistair McGeorge of Metro, Uso reflected on this unforgettable experience, saying, “That made me realise, like, ‘Oh damn, they with me,’ but I didn’t recognize how big that entrance was until I got to watch it back.” His genuine surprise at the reaction highlighted the emotional connection he has forged with the audience.

Uso further elaborated on the impact of that moment, noting, “When I watched it back the next couple of days, man, I didn’t know it was that big. Yeah, it was fire. I’ll never be able to really relive that, or replicate that ever again.” This sentiment underscores the uniqueness of that experience, marking a turning point in his career and solidifying his place among the elite in WWE.

With this new chapter in his wrestling journey, Uso has shown that he can rise to the occasion and thrive as a singles competitor. As he continues to build on his success, fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this talented wrestler who has proven that he can stand on his own, breaking barriers and winning the hearts of the WWE Universe.
