Jey Uso teaming up with Cody Rhodes after leaving SmackDown and moving to Monday Night RAW proved to be one of the best decisions of his career. Not only do they make a great team, but they also won the Tag Team Championships at Fastlane. Cody Rhodes played a significant role in bringing Jey Uso to SmackDown after he appeared to quit WWE.
The two former rivals quickly became good friends and have been supporting each other since Uso’s move to RAW. Following their tag team championship victory at Fastlane, it looks like the duo are now preparing to face new competition.
