WWE is currently at an all-time high regarding overall ticket sales and viewership. Thanks to Triple H for crafting beautiful storylines and making larger-than-life characters each week drawing millions of viewers on live television. With Roman Reigns being on hiatus since WrestleMania XL, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso are arguably two of the biggest draws for the company.
The American Nightmare and Main Event Jey Uso have been rocketing SmackDown and RAW respectively. Fans always want to have a moment with the two whenever they get the chance. They are also very popular among the kids and always have a soft corner for them. On several occasions, Cody has gifted his young fans with surprising presents making them happy and joyous.
Another such moment came after the recent SmackDown episode when Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes had an interaction with some young fans. These young fans were the kids of ECW veteran Mikey Whipwreck. Mikey took it to social media to thank Rhodes and Jey for the fruitful interaction they had with his kids.
My kids had a great time last night at #SmackDown. Thank you for everything @CodyRhodes. And a special shoutout to Jey for giving my son his sunglasses @WWEUsos. He said it was the greatest day of his life. @WWE pic.twitter.com/yCLWhFb0Ay

Jey even took the time to give his special ‘Yeet’ styled glasses to Mikey’s son which the former ECW World champ talked about in his appreciation post. Whipwreck even visited backstage during this week’s SmackDown in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Mikey lives in the area and thought of visiting backstage alongside his kids and family. Whipwreck currently works for AEW as a trainer and Global Ambassador.
While working for Paul Heyman in the ECW, Whipwreck has won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, ECW TV Championship, and ECW Tag Team Championships. Being with AEW currently, it is captivating to see an AEW superstar praising WWE wrestlers and enjoying their product.
Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso are the top babyfaces of the WWE currently
Rhodes and Jey have been performing very well on their respective brands and are selling tickets better than ever. Their mere presence on the show pumps up the crowd creating memorable moments and audience reactions.
Jey’s magnificent entrance pumps up the crowd, showcasing how much of a top-tier talent he is. His entrance at Backlash France rocketed the internet as fans became fireflies during Jey’s entrance shaking the whole arena with his signature step. It is quite surprising to see how far Jey has come since his days in the tag team division alongside Jimmy Uso.
On the other hand, The American Nightmare continues to build his legacy as a hero since his huge WrestleMania XL win. Being the Undisputed World Champion, Rhodes continues to entertain the fans with his jaw-dropping entrances, engaging promos, and classic matches. Cody proved he is a fighting champion after his instant classic against AJ Styles at Backlash France.
The match itself gained a lot of praise from the fans and proved the doubters wrong as Cody gave an instant classic in his first title defense. As he prepares himself for his next battle, he faces Logan Paul at the King and Queen of the Ring event in a Champion vs. Champion showdown. Jey Uso will look to become the King of the Ring as he is currently in the tournament to crown a King at the Saudi Event.
