Jey Uso Poised for Breakout as Singles Star in WWE Championship Match

STAMFORD, Conn. — Jey Uso is set to make a pivotal leap in his wrestling career as he challenges Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE‘s Saturday Night's Main Event this weekend. The match marks a significant transition for Uso, who has long been celebrated as one half of the iconic tag team, The Usos.

Tommy Dreamer, a veteran wrestler and commentator, shared his insights on Uso’s potential as a singles competitor during a recent episode of Busted Open Radio. “We know he’s entertaining. We know he’s a great worker,” Dreamer said. “We grew up watching The Usos. We watched Jey rise up on his own and become ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso.”

Dreamer highlighted Uso’s recent promo against Gunther on Raw as a turning point. “His promo afterwards is, like, cool, because at the end of the day, who’s he got? He’s got himself,” Dreamer added, emphasizing Uso’s newfound independence and confidence.

Uso’s move into singles competition comes after his departure from The Bloodline, a faction that dominated WWE storylines for years. Dreamer noted the risks involved in this transition. “He went away from The Bloodline. He took a big risk. WWE has invested a lot in him, and that investment is paying off,” Dreamer said.

This weekend’s match against Gunther is seen as a litmus test for Uso’s ability to carry a main event on his own. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Uso can translate his tag team success into a championship-winning singles career.
