3 mistakes WWE should not make with Jey Uso's first reign as Intercontinental Champion

Jey Uso amazed the WWE Universe on the recent episode of Monday Night RAW when he captured the Intercontinental Championship by dethroning Bron Breakker. Winning the Intercontinental Championship has also marked the first singles title reign for the YEET Master in World Wrestling Entertainment.

In this article, we will discuss three mistakes that WWE should avoid with the Samoan twin in his first reign as Intercontinental Champion.

#3. Jey Uso must not have a short title reign as champion

With Roman Reigns already engaged in a feud with Solo Sikoa, many fans are hoping that Jey Uso will also join the original Tribal Chief in this battle. However, his recent Intercontinental Championship victory raises doubts among fans, as there’s concern that Jey could lose the title soon if he returns to the Bloodline saga.

This would be a significant mistake, as a brief title reign seems pointless, especially since this is Jey's first singles title at 39 years of age. It would be better for WWE to give Jey a title reign after his involvement in the family drama concludes. Handing him a championship beforehand risks a shorter reign, which would be a major misstep.

Additionally, according to recent reports, Jey Uso’s short title reign is anticipated, but WWE should avoid making this mistake a reality.

#2. Must not have long gaps in title defenses

Another thing WWE must avoid in Jey's first Intercontinental Championship reign is long gaps between title defenses. Recently, we saw Logan Paul's United States Championship reign, where he held the title for several months but had very few defenses. The same scenario should not happen with the YEET Master.

WWE should make Jey a defending champion, either by having him defend the IC title at every Premium Live Event or by holding open challenges on Monday Night RAW at regular intervals.

#1. Must not have weak opponents during his title reign

A title reign is truly memorable when the champion faces strong opponents and overcomes them to retain the championship. This is a primary reason why Roman Reigns' Undisputed title reign is considered historic as he defeated legends like John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and others during his reign. WWE must apply the same approach during Jey Uso's title reign, ensuring he doesn't face weak opponents.

Triple H must ensure that credible and strong challengers are put in front of the YEET Master, allowing him to defeat them and make his reign even more memorable.
