The August 26 edition of Monday Night RAW saw a No.1 contender tournament for the WWE Intercontinental Championship with two spectacular matches. One of them saw Jey Uso picking up the one, and it attracted a reaction from a WWE superstar that Jey had been eyeing for quite some time.
Which RAW superstar reacted to Jey Uso’s victory on Monday Night RAW in the WWE Intercontinental Championship tournament?
Last week on RAW, Bron Breakker announced that RAW General Manager Adam Pearce sanctioned a No.1 contender tournament to determine the next challenger for his Intercontinental title. This week on RAW, the tournament began with two highly enthralling bouts among some of the top RAW superstars.
One of those matches saw Jey Uso, Karrion Kross, and Kofi Kingston compete in a triple-threat match. The match was a spectacular sight to witness in the Providence Center as the stakes were higher. The final moments saw Jey Uso connecting with the splash to secure the win and advance in the tournament.
However, what was interesting was that former Judgment Day member Rhea Ripley, who Jey Uso had shown much interest in, was keeping a close eye on the contest as seen through her social media activity. The Eradicator reposted WWE’s clip of Jey Uso’s victory, meaning that she had taken interest in Uso’s recent championship pursuit.
Ever since Rhea Ripley came back to WWE following her shoulder injury, Jey Uso has shown interest in hooking up with Rhea Ripley after witnessing her issues with Dominik Mysterio. Moreover, after Dirty Dom betrayed Mami at SummerSlam for Liv Morgan, the coast seems clear for Jey to make a move and form a new alliance with Rhea Ripley.
Moreover, Rhea is also showing the same interest subtly now, so it will be interesting to see WWE book this potential brewing romance.
