14 years into his WWE career, “Main Event” Jey Uso has finally captured singles championship gold.
The September 23 episode of WWE Raw went off-the-air with a “feel good moment,” YEET-style, as the main event of the evening saw Mr. “Main Event” himself, Jey Uso, upsetting Bron Breakker to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Following the show, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque shared his usual backstage photo with a new champion post on X, along with comments on Uso’s big title victory.
“The embodiment of hard work paying off is “Main Event” Jey Uso,” Levesque wrote.”An all-time great in the tag team division, and now has won one of the most historic championships in our business. Congratulations, Jey…YEET!”

I’ve been in a lot of arenas, but I’ve genuinely never seen one so COMPLETELY unified with happiness and elation like when Jey @WWEUsos got the dub tonight. Even the cold-blooded haters like me enjoyed it. A spine-tingling moment. Congrats Uce! #WWERAW pic.twitter.com/umJl5X9yBM
