In one of the most jaw-dropping moments in recent WWE history, the WWE Universe witnessed an alliance no one saw coming. Jey Uso, long known for his family loyalty and fiery solo run, has done the unthinkable—dethroned Gunther to become the new Intercontinental Champion. But the shock didn’t end there. The deciding factor in the match? None other than Rhea Ripley.
The highly anticipated title match between Jey Uso and Gunther was expected to be a hard-hitting, high-stakes encounter. Gunther, having held the Intercontinental Title for a record-breaking reign, looked nearly invincible. Jey, riding a wave of momentum since stepping away from The Bloodline, came into the match hungry and focused—but still seen by many as the underdog.
The match delivered on every level, with Gunther’s brutal chops echoing through the arena and Jey’s speed and agility keeping the champion on edge. Just as Gunther seemed to take control, setting up for the Powerbomb, the lights dimmed and a familiar theme hit. The crowd erupted as Rhea Ripley, clad in leather and eyes locked on the ring, strode down the ramp.
No one could make sense of her presence. She circled the ring like a predator, saying nothing and doing nothing—at first. The referee was briefly distracted by Gunther’s Imperium stablemates teasing interference. And that’s when Ripley made her move.
Sliding into the ring behind the referee’s back, Ripley delivered a low blow to Gunther—sending the Austrian powerhouse staggering. Jey Uso, seeing the opening, nailed Gunther with a perfectly timed superkick followed by the Uso Splash from the top rope. The referee turned just in time to count the three.
The arena exploded.
Jey Uso stood in disbelief for a moment, clutching the Intercontinental Title, before locking eyes with Ripley. Without a word, she nodded. The crowd, unsure whether to boo or cheer, watched as Ripley raised Jey’s hand in victory before the two exited the ring together—leaving chaos and questions behind them.
Social media immediately lit up with speculation. Is Rhea Ripley splitting from The Judgment Day? Is she forming a new faction with Jey Uso? Or is this part of a bigger power play to shake up the WWE landscape?
Backstage reports suggest that Ripley has grown increasingly frustrated with The Judgment Day’s internal power struggles, and her actions tonight may signal a new era—not just for her, but for WWE as a whole.
Jey Uso, once considered an underdog and a loyal soldier, has now stepped into the spotlight as champion—with one of WWE’s most dangerous women at his side. One thing is clear: nothing in WWE is certain anymore.
The only question that remains—what’s next for this unexpected alliance?
