For the first time since WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas WWE fans saw one of their favorite superstars return to the ring in dramatic fashion, and Cody Rhodes seemingly created a major match to look forward to at WWE Money In The Bank in just a few weeks.

Rhodes dramatically lost his WWE championship belt to John Cena at WrestleMania, and since then it's been a completely different version of Cena after stunning fans by turning heel. However, Rhodes returned at WWE Saturday Night Main Event during the World Heavyweight Championship match between champion Jey Uso and social media sensation Logan Paul.

Paul was on the brink of winning the match after Cena interfered and started attacking Uso while the referee was knocked down, but Rhodes made sure that Uso had a fighting chance and came to his defense.

While the match didn't officially finish and Uso remained the champion, Rhodes gave WWE fans a big announcement ahead of the next pay-per-view Money In The Bank after revealing that he and Uso will team up to face Cena and Paul in a tag-team match.
