Once upon a time, Cody and Dustin were a team in WWE. On the October 14, 2013, episode of RAW, the babyface duo locked horns with then-tag team champions, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. This match was packed with action and had immense drama. After a grueling effort and some outside interference, the brothers defeated The Shield's Reigns and Rollins and became the new champions.

Dustin and Cody Rhodes won the title exactly 12 years ago. Interestingly, a few hours ago, the former Goldust acknowledged this amazing moment on X. He responded to a clip from the bout.
