Cody Rhodes discusses his partnership with Jey Uso.
Since Payback in September, Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes have been slowly building their friendship and partnership as a tag team. While they were only WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions for a short period after winning them at Fastlane, they have the opportunity to win back the championships on the November 13 edition of Monday Night RAW when they face off with champions The Judgment Day once again.
Throughout his career, Cody has teamed with a number of top stars in the industry including The Elite, Randy Orton, his brother Dustin Rhodes and several more.
While speaking to Gabby AF, Cody talked up his partnership with "Main Event" Jey Uso, noting that it is one of his favorite partnerships he has been in during his career.
“You mentioned a dream team. I never thought I was gonna tag with Jey Uso. Even when we were walking to the ring for Fastlane, we’re walking out there, and I didn’t know what was happening. Then after the one, two, three, and being champs with him, the first time he’s been champs with somebody other than his brother, he became one of my favorite allies, one of my favorite partners ever, and I’ve had tons of partners. But the fact that he’s chipping away at Main Event Jey Uso, becoming himself, you see the crowd doing it with him and you see the shirts, the fact that I have him there, and we’re able to compete with each other and compete against each other, I really like Jey Uso. I’m looking forward to Monday to recreating, we had lightning in a bottle in Indianapolis, and yeah, the press conference went off the rails because maybe we had a little too much fun, but I’m looking at the same amount of fun in DC. That’s one of my favorite arenas, CapitalOne Arena. It’s a very special place to me, and to be able to repeat with him again would be special."
On the November 6 edition of Monday Night RAW, Cody and Jey were announced to be part of the 2023 Men's WarGames match at Survivor Series later this month. They will join Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins along with a mystery fifth man to take on the team of Judgment Day, JD McDonagh and a mystery fifth partner inside the double caged structure.
