Jay Uso joined Cody Rhodes in celebrating his birthday during the show.
In the main event of this week’s Monday Night episode at PPG Paint Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the team of Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed defeated Penta and Samizaine. After a chaotic match, Breakker struck Sami with a spear and pinned the veteran wrestler to secure the win. The villainous duo then targeted Zayn with a 747 splash, but Jey Uso intervened to protect him.
The fan-favorite wrestlers concluded the episode on a high note, but the action wasn’t over as WWE also filmed Friday’s SmackDown that same night.
What happened after RAW?
Following the second taping, Cody Rhodes continued his usual routine by inviting a child from the audience to the ring and presenting him with a signed WWE Championship belt. However, he wasn’t alone—Jey Uso joined him and helped Cody bring out a birthday cake to celebrate with the crowd by singing Happy Birthday. Before Cody could take a bite, Jay accidentally dropped the cake, but the birthday celebration continued as Cody smashed the cake in Jay’s face and playfully smeared some on himself to cap off the night.
Fan Take: This moment highlights the blend of in-ring action and personal storytelling that keeps WWE exciting for fans. Cody Rhodes celebrating his birthday with fellow wrestlers and fans adds a human touch to the sport, strengthening the connection between performers and the audience and setting the stage for future storylines.
