Wrestler & match of the month

Wrestler of the month

Jey Uso. “Main Event Jey” captured the Intercontinental title by defeating Bron Breakker during the September 23rd episode of Monday Night Raw to win his first ever singles title in his WWE career. In other terms, he just achieved the greatest feat in his 14-year career in WWE, as his popularity keeps on reaching new highs.

We can add the fact that Jey Uso is on a winning streak in singles competition, as he didn’t lose on WWE TV since Money In The Bank 2024.

Match of the month

Will Ospreay (c) vs. PAC – AEW International championship, AEW All Out 2024 (September 7)

Let’s call this match what it is, a banger. Great technical skills, but also a perfect alchemy in the ring between the two wrestlers. Will Ospreay managed to retain his title via pinfall with the Hidden Blade to end what we can already call a Classic. Another match of the month award for “The Aerial Assassin”, and a first one for PAC who, by the way, has been shining on AEW TV since he has joined forces with Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler YUTA of The Blackpool Combat Club.
