Jey Uso found himself in hot water after dropping Cody Rhodes’ birthday cake following this week’s WWE RAW. The former World Heavyweight Champion was celebrating his 40th birthday with the WWE Universe during the taping of SmackDown, when the mishap occurred. Jey, who was responsible for the cake mishap, quickly issued an apology to Rhodes, albeit in a humorous manner. In a video posted on X, Jey blamed a kid in the crowd for the cake dropping incident and expressed his regret to Cody, saying, “I blamed the kid so quick !!! My bad Cody dawg -jey”.
Meanwhile, Vince Russo, the former WWE writer, expressed his displeasure with the booking of Cody Rhodes vs. Jey Uso in the King of the Ring Tournament last month. Despite Jey delivering two Superkicks and a Cross Rhodes, Cody emerged victorious with just one Cross Rhodes. Russo criticized the booking, stating that it made Jey appear weak and undermined his credibility in the match.
Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes have a history as former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions and have previously teamed up at events like the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. Despite their past success as a tag team, their recent encounters have raised questions about the handling of their individual characters in WWE storylines.
As the wrestling world continues to evolve, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on the developments between Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, hoping for more balanced and compelling storytelling in the future.
