While I agree Jey is often sloppy in the ring (that's probably the best description I've seen), the guy is just so over its still super exciting for me to see him win this title. His matches are exciting because people are so invested in seeing him have success.
I'm pretty sure this title run will be short as he is likely due to go back to the bloodline where he can shine in a more secondary role again, but I'm really happy he is getting his first singles title after being in WWE for what, 14 years? Nice to get his flowers if nothing else before he goes back to the big storyline.
I also like the move because at this point Jey has had so many failed title matches that I think many really didnt expect him to go over on Breakker. I like that once and a while, WWE will do something a little unexpected and have a title change on Raw (similar to giving Mysterio a title win on SMackdown in Calgary last year). It keeps eveyone on their toes that anything can still happen if its not a PLE, and likely a sign of things to come as they move to Netflix.
