2024 saw Jey Uso break out as a singles star and win the Intercontinental Championship. It was a disappointingly brief reign for the Bloodline member, though it proved that he has what it takes to hold his own outside the tag team division.
During a recent interview, Jey admitted that he's now hoping to take that success and translate it into an Undisputed WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship win.
"Yeah, man, it just puts a stamp on you. If you’re a wrestler, you want to hold a damn WWE Championship one time, a World Heavyweight Championship one time. I want to hold that s**t," he said. "I ain’t ever thought about being a champion like that until I got the IC Title man, until ‘24 popped off the way it did, it built my confidence. It made me believe, hell yeah, I could be the face, Uce."
"I want the title. I’ll take it off of anybody, just give me the shot. Gunther, whoever it is, Cody Rhodes, we can run it. I’m telling you, I’m gonna get the big one," Jey continued. "No one believes that, just like that doubted me the whole time. It’s all good. I’m used to that. It’s just fuel to the fire. But I’m gonna get that, I’m gonna get it. I’m putting it out there right now."
For now, the RAW Superstar finds himself caught up in more Bloodline drama after reuniting with his twin brother Jimmy and cousin Roman Reigns. Alongside Sami Zayn, they'll face Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu and Bronson Reed at Survivor Series: WarGames.
Discussing Reed's surprise inclusion in the match, Jey said, "I think business just picked up with Bronson Reed. I think he's going to be a problem at WarGames. I'm not trying to get in the ring with that dude. I've been in the ring a couple times with him."
"He's an Uce too, you know what I'm saying? Damn, if they had to pick a fifth member for their team, they grabbed the first round draft pick for sure."
The expectation is that Seth Rollins will join the babyface Bloodline, though some fans remain convinced that Paul Heyman will return and bring either Brock Lesnar or CM Punk with him to help Reigns combat Solo's group. We'll have to wait and see but tonight's SmackDown should be interesting.
