In a gripping development following this week’s sensation-loaded NXT, Cody Rhodes, alongside his partner Jey Uso, has sent the WWE universe into a whirlwind of speculation and excitement by announcing an open challenge for the Undisputed WWE Tag Championship on SmackDown, slated for October 13, emanating from Tulsa, OK.
While Jey Uso was unanimously onboard, it seems that the duo has potentially intrigued the competitive spirits of WWE newcomers, Grayson Waller and Austin Theory. Grayson Waller, not shying away from the digital arena, took to Twitter to drop a tantalizing tease.
Showcasing a photo with Austin Theory, the former United States Champion, and highlighting their impeccable, albeit nascent record as a tag team (standing 2-0), Waller sparked curiosity with a nod towards the reigning tag champions, writing simply yet enigmatically: "Undefeated Yeet."

Yeet Chants Echo
The term ‘yeet’—a playful exclamation popularized and embraced by The Usos on WWE television—has recently found its way into Cody's verbal repertoire, fostering a lively interaction as fans chime in with spirited ‘yeet’ chants.
Thus, Waller and Theory could very well be positioning themselves as contenders for tonight’s title bout, or, with strategic foresight, be planting seeds for an imminent challenge in the near future. Meanwhile, the SmackDown stage is abuzz with anticipation for another pivotal moment: the long-awaited return of the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, whose previous two title defenses have toppled both Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, adding a layer of complexity and history to the unfolding drama.
In an ecosystem as electrifying and unpredictable as the WWE, where alliances and rivalries perpetually dance in a delicate ballet, the potential face-off between these two dynamic teams introduces a fresh, invigorating narrative into the mix.
Stay tuned as we navigate through these enthralling possibilities, cascading towards what promises to be a riveting chapter in the WWE Tag Team Championship's storied journey. This compelling spectacle from the SmackDown arena, indeed, beckons with open arms, to fans and challengers alike.
