Jey Uso picked arguably the most important win of his WWE profession final week on RAW. “Mr. MonJey Evening” beat Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship. Jey had beforehand unsuccessfully challenged for a singles title on a number of events.
The brand new Intercontinental Champion will probably be within the home tonight presumably to kick off his first feud for the title. Let’s check out the 5 males who may doubtlessly problem Jey for his newly gained championship.
Ludwig Kaiser
If there’s anybody who has benefited from Imperium’s implosion, it’s Ludwig Kaiser. The previous Marcel Barthel received the Sheamus rub after distancing himself from Giovanni Vinci in April 2024. Talking of Vinci, issues are trying bleak for the Italian celebrity so far as his push is worried.
Kaiser, then again, had a aggressive match towards Sami Zayn en path to WWE Unhealthy Blood. It seems like WWE Inventive has massive plans for the German and will doubtlessly put him in a feud with Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship. Each males have competed towards one another in singles and multi-man matches up to now.
Chad Gable vs. Jey Uso could possibly be a significant feud
Not reserving Chad Gable to dethrone Gunther for the Intercontinental title will stay a significant WWE error in my e-book. Gable may’ve benefited when it mattered probably the most. Hopefully, Triple H gained’t fumble American Made as a result of that secure has loads of potential to achieve each singles and tag division.
The Creed Brothers may work their strategy to the world tag staff titles with Ivy Nile going after a ladies’s mid-card title assuming Triple H introduces one in 2024. As for Gable, he may problem (and even dethrone) Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship within the grand scheme of issues.
Bronson Reed
I’m glad Bronson Reed is getting the chance to showcase his potential below the Triple H regime. If he was nonetheless working below the outdated regime, he would’ve been diminished to a comedy act. Hunter labored intently with Reed in NXT and he’s as soon as once more instrumental in establishing him as a respectable monster on the principle roster.
Reed has decimated the likes of Seth Rollins and R-Fact along with his Tsunami. His feud towards Braun Strowman has been a constant HIT in our weekly WWE RAW hits and misses collection. I can see Reed taking over Jey within the aftermath of his feud with Strowman. We’ll have full protection of their “Final Monster Standing” match because it airs on RAW tonight.
Dominik Mysterio & Jey Uso are not any strangers to one another
Bear in mind when “Soiled Dom” was making an attempt to get Jey to hitch The Judgment Day? Jey broke out as a singles star. Dominik turned heel whereas being a heel at WWE SummerSlam 2024. The betrayal got here at a heavy worth as a result of Dom will probably be locked inside a shark cage hanging above the ring this Saturday.
It’s apparent WWE needs to proceed the romance angle between Jey Uso and Rhea Ripley. The dropped a “flirty moments” compilation of the pair within the lead-up to Unhealthy Blood. Jey’s involvement with Rhea may very effectively plant the seeds for a one-on-one feud between Jey and Dominik with the Intercontinental title at stake.
Ilja Dragunov
Jey was one of many first superstars to check Ilja Dragunov not lengthy after The Czar’s foremost roster arrival. Each males met within the KOTR quarterfinals. Ilja misplaced the match that night time however earned Jey’s respect within the course of. Each males have since shared backstage segments.
Ilja was one of many three contributors Jey beat to face Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship. He may doubtlessly present up on RAW tonight to problem Jey for his title. Let’s see if my predictions seems to be true.
