In a recent episode of RAW, Jey Uso challenged Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. The match was intense, with both competitors showcasing their skills. As the match neared its conclusion, Jey Uso was on the verge of victory with a pinfall attempt, but the situation took a turn when his twin brother, Jimmy, inadvertently caused a distraction. This momentary lapse allowed Gunther to counter an Uso Splash with his knees and subsequently pin Jey Uso, securing his victory. Following the incident on RAW, Jimmy faced repercussions and was fined for his interference in the match.
After the show concluded, rumors began to swirl regarding the outcome of the match. There was speculation that Jey Uso was initially slated to win the Intercontinental Championship from Gunther, according to the original plans. However, Dr. Chris Featherstone, a wrestling insider, addressed these rumors on his YouTube channel, Pancakes & Powerslams. Featherstone firmly stated that the rumors were unfounded and that there was never any plan for Jey Uso to take the title from Gunther. He emphasized that such rumors were baseless and urged fans to be cautious of the misinformation often spread by unreliable sources.
The wrestling world is also abuzz with discussions about the future Tribal Chief. Before The Rock made his return to WWE and joined The Bloodline, Roman Reigns had declared Solo Sikoa as his chosen successor. Despite The Rock’s presence, there has been no indication of a change in Reigns’ decision. In an interview with Alex McCarthy of the Daily Mail in December 2023, Jey Uso expressed his thoughts on the matter. He supported the idea of keeping the title within the family and acknowledged Solo Sikoa’s potential as the future Tribal Chief, while also noting that Sikoa still has room to grow.
Solo Sikoa’s presence was felt on RAW as well, where he made a significant impact. During a match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, Sikoa delivered a Samoan Spike to Rhodes, which played a crucial role in McIntyre’s victory. Such actions continue to shape the narratives and alliances within WWE, as wrestlers vie for supremacy and recognition in the ever-evolving landscape of professional wrestling.
