Last time he won a televised singles match was in August against Solo, and that was one of only three singles wins he's gotten all year long. Jimmy's actually won a singles match more recently than he has and we all know what a goober he comes off as. "Just him, Uce," isn't exactly being positioned as meaning much.

They can call him Main Event all they want, but when it comes down to it, dude isn't booked like a main eventer and he really needs to start putting dubs on the board. Jey has great babyface energy and can get the crowd pumping, but dude needs credibility and that needs to come from actually being booked like a main eventer.

Giving him the win last night really wouldn't have hurt.

I have no idea what the plan for Gunther is at Mania, but Jey unseating him would be a really solid idea |

He spent a good portion of that time since August in a tag team with Cody and fighting tag matches with other partners as well. He could use some singles wins but his losses have been to Roman, McIntyre, Rollins and one to Priest.

So far it looks like it's leading to him dethroning Gunther at WM. Classic storyline where the heel downtalks the babyface and then gets his ass kicked.

I wouldn't mind seeing him take down Gunther for the IC title as it seems like they're veering away from Jimmy vs. Jey at least for now.

Sorry haven't watched the past few weeks I've been busy... What evidence do we have that they've moved away from Jey/Jimmy and what evidence do we have that they're going with Gunther/Jey? Jimmy cost Jey the tag team titles and I don't recall Gunther/Jey having any interaction was there something recent?

Nothing at all really, just speculation on what Jey might be doing in the next few months or so. It could still end up Jimmy vs. Jey at Mania. |

No interactions between Jey and Gunther. All we know is that Gunther has no opponent who's probably going to beat him and also that Jey mentioned he wants to face Gunther and have the IC belt in interviews recently.

He's not Main Event Jey Uso... He's Main Event Jey Uso.  |

They should start calling him "Above Average" Jey Uso.

Yeah tonight was the first time I really went "wow they've been beating him a ton on TV lately" WWE clearly see him and Sami as the two “main even guys” who are the most expendable in terms of eating pins. |

Raw just feels like the island of misfit toys, hot faces that Roman put a stop to.

Raw just feels like the island of misfit toys, hot faces that Roman put a stop to. My buddy the other day was talking about how the WWE was now just like Dragonball Z. All the other Z fighters only exist to make Goku look strong when he wins. Now all the shows are just filler episodes between Roman matches. I thought he was a little heavy handed and over dramatic... but sometimes it does seem like he's not that wrong. Although at least Goku could take a solid loss from time to time. |

Sami plays the part of underdog well, so he can take more pins without too much harm. Jey Uso doesn't do that anywhere near as well as Zayn does, so losing is more damaging for him. To be clear, Jey Uso isn't anywhere near Bitchhalla (and neither is Zayn), but it is right to be concerned with him losing so much with him not having won a singles match on TV since being put on Raw. |

If Cody, Punk, and Becky are all gonna win at Mania, then I think Gunther retains against Brock and then loses the title to Jey at Backlash. Mania can’t be the end all be all for everything
