Jey Uso became Intercontinental Champion on last night’s WWE Raw and joins his father on a short list of father and son champions.
Uso’s father is WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi who was also an Intercontinental Champion and has commented on his son’s win.
Rikishi held the Intercontinental Championship from the June 22 2000 until July 6 where he would lose it to Val Venis on SmackDown.
