Rhea Ripley, Triple H and Others React to Jey Uso Winning the Intercontinental Championship

Did 'Main Event' Jey Uso shock the world and defeat Bron Breakker to capture the Intercontinental Championship on Raw?... YEET!
There was a party in stands of the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California Monday Night as Jey Uso completed his ascension from "which Uso are you?" to standing on his own as a singles Champion in WWE.
Uce needed several spears and multiple Uso Splashes to put away Bron Breakker, ending his Intercontinental Championship run at just 51 days, but he did it. A massive upset in the eyes of many, but a result that no doubt had Jey's fans and colleagues YEET-ing all night long.
Several of whom took to social media to congratulate Jey Uso on his 14 years of hard work and dedication finally paying off with singles gold.
The embodiment of hard work paying off is “Main Event” Jey @WWEUsos. An all-time great in the tag team division, and now has won one of the most historic championships in our business.

Real talk, going from "which one are you" to "and new" through a journey of family abuse, gaslighting, and manipulation is kind of beautiful for Jey.

Bron has a vast future ahead of him to become champion again.
Everyone in that building will remember this night and feeling forever! Congratulations Jey!!!!!!!!! https://t.co/XpcKolFMuR

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

I don't even think Jey has 1/4 of the character well-roundedness some of the other top good guys have in WWE, but when fans are invested in the chase of glory, they'll be there with them. https://t.co/hPktKgcujK
