In addition to discussing the different lifestyle associated with being a singles wrestler, Uso also talked about how high he thinks he might be able to rise within the division. It’s no secret that the company is filled with massive stars, especially at the moment, but Uso has kept his sights held high.
“I want to definitely hold the big one, man,” Uso said. “Get my first singles championship. The Intercontinental Championship is something real big that I would like to try to strive for, man. GUNTHER’s holding that, and I feel like me and GUNTHER could really have a pay-per-view type quality match here that people would like to see.”
For now, however, Uso is focused on putting in the work, as his ally Cody Rhodes likes to say. The former tag champion said that he tries to make the best of any TV time he’s given, and he has passed that advice on to the younger stars on the WWE roster.
Overall, the WWE star is confident that his becoming a singles performer was the right career move. Uso pointed out that he just wrestled a singles match against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship last month — something that wouldn’t have been possible during the previous stage of his career. Looking ahead, Uso named Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, and GUNTHER as people he’s excited to tell stories with going forward.
