WRESTLING RUMORS: Jey Uso Was Scheduled To Win The Intercontinental Title On Monday Night Raw

This close. There are all kinds of titles in WWE and in recent years, they have not changed hands as often as they had in the past. That makes for a very different style of title match, as a title changing hands is seen as a much bigger moment. It makes even a title match feel more important, and that was the case again this week. As it turns out, things might have been set to go in a different direction.

The main event of this week’s Monday Night Raw saw Gunther successfully defend the Intercontinental Title against Jey Uso with an assist from Jimmy Uso. According to WrestleVotes, there were multiple people in WWE who believed that the title would be changing hands. Various show rundowns had Jey winning the title until as late as two hours before the show started. There is a chance that these plans were fakes to find leaks or WWE may have changed plans for some unknown reason.

Hearing an interesting story we hope to follow up on with more tomorrow… source states there were multiple people within the company under the impression Jey Uso was winning the IC title tonight on RAW.

It would have been a big deal. Check out some previous Intercontinental Title changes:

Opinion: This is interesting as there was a feeling that the title could have changed hands. Gunther is going to have to lose the title at some point and while it might not have taken place last night, it felt like it was a possibility. That makes his title matches all the more interesting and now it seems that at least someone in WWE believed that it was a possibility. It gives Gunther’s title defenses even more drama and that makes things all the more intriguing.
