Jey Uso has discussed his future plans.
Over the last couple of months, Jey Uso has become one of the top babyfaces on Raw. Proving that ‘Main Event’ is more than just a nickname, the 38-year-old regularly featured in closing segments on Monday nights and has even picked up a reign with the Undisputed Tag Team Championships alongside Cody Rhodes in recent times.
Giving an interview to Carl Lemarre of Billboard, Jey talked all things hip hop and the creation of his current theme song, interestingly though, the star discussed what he’d like to achieve when it comes to his ideal singles run, naming GUNTHER’s Intercontinental Title as something he’s interested in pursuing.
“The first singles championship on the top of my list is the IC [Intercontinental Championship] title. Gunther gonna have to run that. Everybody over there. He likes the Tribal Chief, you see what I do to the Tribal Chief? I don’t give a damn, let’s run that. My dad was an IC champion, my uncle, Umaga IC champion. Shawn Michaels. My favorite wrestler, the greatest, Razor Ramon. All the greats held the Intercontinental Championship and I’m trying to get that. That’s Pay-Per-View material right there.”

As for what he might be interested in when it comes to WrestleMania next year, Jey admitted that there are few people he’d like to face on the Grandest Stage of Them All more than Jimmy Uso. Though, should his brother not be available, he also mentions Seth Rollins as a potential opponent due to The Visionary being the current benchmark on Raw as World Heavyweight Champion.
“Right now, I feel like Jimmy’s at the top of the list. He’s gotta get this work. He’s still ducking me right now. He knows what it is. If I could talk from Josh and me, it’s my dream match. If this does happen, I’d be so grateful and happy. I would just look at him like look what we doing. Look at this! Those are special moments in the ring that nobody in the world knows. When we did the Money in the Bank with Roman [Reigns] and Solo, I was just looking at them getting a little teary-eyed like, “Look at us.” That would go down as the No. 1 moment in my career if I get to wrestle with Jimmy in the sold-out Philadelphia in front of friends and family. And I’d beat his ass. If I could pick someone else, I’d probably wanna run it one time with Seth Rollins for that championship. He’s a GOAT. He’s a beast and got my respect. He’s been holding down Monday Night RAW forever. I’m with it.”
