The night after WWE Raw aired on February 23, 2026, the WWE Universe is still buzzing about one of the most electrifying moments of the week. Cody Rhodes nearly walked straight into a calculated trap — and it was The Usos who made sure he walked out unscathed.
The Vision Makes Their Move
The Vision had a plan. A clean, calculated, and dangerous plan. The faction set their sights on Cody Rhodes, looking to strike before the American Nightmare could see it coming. In a moment that had the crowd on edge, The Vision moved in for what looked like a sure ambush — the kind that reshapes storylines and sends shockwaves through the entire WWE locker room. Rhodes, however, was not alone.
The Usos Arrive at the Perfect Moment
Just when The Vision appeared ready to strike, the unmistakable energy of The Usos shifted the entire atmosphere in the arena. Jimmy and Jey Uso, the reigning World Tag Team Champions, stepped into the frame with the kind of presence that only they can bring. The Vision, suddenly outnumbered and outmatched, had no choice but to fall back. It was a retreat — and a telling one at that.
For Cody Rhodes, this moment was more than just survival. It was a statement. The American Nightmare has allies, and those allies happen to be two of the most decorated tag team wrestlers in WWE history. The Usos showing up for Rhodes signals something bigger brewing inside WWE’s current landscape.
Cody Rhodes and the Road Ahead
Cody Rhodes continues to sit at the center of WWE’s most compelling storylines heading into the spring season. The Vision targeting him only amplifies how much of a threat the faction considers Rhodes to be. When a group goes out of its way to ambush someone before a match, before a promo, before anything — that tells you everything about how they view that person’s power.
Rhodes has been through the fire before. His journey from walking away from WWE to reclaiming the top of the mountain is one of the most celebrated stories in recent wrestling history. The Vision clearly wants to derail that momentum — but Monday night proved it will not be easy.
The Usos’ Championship Presence Grows
Beyond saving Rhodes, The Usos once again reminded the WWE Universe why they hold those World Tag Team Championships. Their timing, instincts, and sheer star power continue to make them one of the most dominant forces on Raw. This moment only deepens the alliance and raises the stakes for what comes next.
If The Vision wants war, they now know they are not just dealing with Cody Rhodes. They are dealing with The Usos too — and that is a completely different kind of fight.
What Comes Next on Raw
The WWE landscape shifted Monday night, and the fallout from this confrontation is bound to spill into the coming weeks. Will The Vision regroup and launch a more coordinated attack? Will The Usos and Rhodes formalize their alliance? Every answer leads to more questions — and that is exactly what makes Raw must-see television right now.
The Usos stepping in for Cody Rhodes was not just a highlight. It was a warning shot fired right back at The Vision. And in WWE, those moments have a way of defining entire eras.
