Triple H: Jey Uso is ‘the embodiment of hard work paying off’

Paul “Triple H” Levesque is proud of all the hard work Jey Uso put in on his journey to singles gold.

In the main event of WWE Raw last night, Uso won his first singles championship by defeating Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental title. Levesque tweeted a photo with Uso after the match and congratulated him on his accomplishment.

“The embodiment of hard work paying off is ‘Main Event’ Jey [Uso],” Levesque wrote. “An all-time great in the tag team division, and now has won one of the most historic championships in our business. Congratulations, Jey…YEET!”

As Raw went off the air, Uso went into the crowd to celebrate with the fans. Jackie Redmond then conducted a post-show interview where Uso thanked everyone who has been on this journey with him. He got visibly emotional as the crowd chanted “You deserve it.”

Uso told the kids in the audience that if they get good grades, listen to their parents, and say their prayers — their dreams can come true too.

The full Uso vs. Breakker match can be watched below.
