The latest episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown saw Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes engage in a face-to-face confrontation, sparking a trip down memory lane to their past encounters.
During their conversation, Cody brought up their shared history, particularly their involvement with The Shield.
He reminded Reigns of the moment when he and Goldust, under the name Rhodes Brothers, triumphed over The Shield on a memorable Monday Night RAW episode in 2013.

The victory wasn’t just significant for its time; it remains relevant today, highlighting the importance of history and continuity in WWE, especially under the Triple H regime.
Cody and Goldust’s partnership began in 2013, showcasing remarkable chemistry as they embarked on their tag team journey.
However, their paths diverged when Goldust embraced an eccentric persona, while Cody transformed into Stardust, a character even more flamboyant than his brother’s Goldust persona.
Despite their split, the brothers’ connection endures.
While Goldust, now known as Dustin Rhodes, competes in All Elite Wrestling, he continues to support Cody, particularly in his ongoing feud with The Bloodline, led by Reigns and The Rock.

As the drama unfolds both in and out of the ring, fans eagerly await to see how the storyline between Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline develops, keeping the excitement alive for future WWE events.
