Jey Uso will get his chance for the Intercontinental championship against Gunther

Jey Uso confronted the Ring General and made clear he wanted to have a shot at the championship. Last night on the red brand, Jey Uso & The New Day defeated Imperium in a 6-man tag team match, which led to Jey Uso getting a championship opportunity against Gunther. The title bout is schedulded for next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

Seth Rollins wants to be Cody Rhodes’ shield
As they had one of the rivalries of the year back in 2022, it seems that Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins have now a common battle, and most of all, a common enemy: the Bloodline. Last night in Lexington, Kentucky, Seth Rollins offered Cody Rhodes his help in the Bloodline’s case, as the American Nightmare is set to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal championship in the main event of WrestleMania XL. “You do not have to fight this battle alone. […] When it comes to fighting the Bloodline, when it comes to fighting The Rock, when it comes to fighting Roman Reigns, there is only one man on earth who is uniquely sudded to be your shield.” Seth Rollins said to Cody Rhodes. So now the question is: will Cody Rhodes accept the help of the World Heavyweight champion, a former rival, to avoid being screwed again by the Tribal Chief, the Bloodline and, now, The Rock?
Matches announced for next week’s episode of WWE Raw
The Intercontinental championship match between Gunther and Jey Uso in not the only one that WWE announced for the February 19 episode of Monday Night Raw. Indeed, Cody Rhodes will face Drew McIntyre one-on-one, The Judgment Day will battle the team of The Miz, R-Truth & DIY in an 8-man tag team match, and there will be a 5-woman Last Chance Battle Royal to qualify for the Women’s Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber.
