In a shocking development in 2023, Cody Rhodes forged an unlikely partnership with Jey Uso, a past member of The Bloodline. This unlikely collaboration not only disrupted the WWE scene but also created lasting memories for fans. The pair worked together to become WWE World Tag Team Champions for a short but exciting period after winning at WWE Fastlane 2023. Despite their brief time as champions, Finn Balor and Damian Priest quickly took the titles from them, but their close relationship inside and outside of the ring had a lasting impact.
The close relationship between Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso behind the scenes
Apart from their amazing connection during matches, Rhodes and Uso formed a close friendship behind the scenes, enjoying many moments of laughter and friendship. At the Fastlane post-press conference, the recently crowned champions were seen in good moods, sharing a light-hearted moment. This laid-back mood caught the attention of many, but it wasn’t until after their epic SummerSlam win that Rhodes revealed the hilarious backstory behind that event.
The hilarious interview: Cody spills the beans
By the middle of 2023, there was conflict brewing within The Bloodline. Jimmy Uso’s surprising disloyalty to the Tribal Chief during Night of Champions put the faction in a precarious position. The Uso brothers, caught in the crossfire, contemplated their future within the notorious group. While Jimmy’s actions distanced him from Roman Reigns, Jey Uso stood firm in his decision to disassociate from The Bloodline. His determination led him to switch brands, joining Raw to start anew.
