They became two-time WWE Tag Team Champions. Cody suddenly returned to revive the tag team in June 2014 on Raw under his new gimmick as "Stardust". However, after almost eight months, they were disbanded at Payback due to the number of times Cody and Goldust lost. This match marked the debut of Cody and Goldust as a tag team and their victory over Reigns and Rollins led to an immediate return of their jobs. Eventually, Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon decided that the half-brothers would face the two members of The Shield, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, at Battleground, but stipulated that if Cody and Goldust lost, they would never work in the WWE again and Dusty would lose his job as a trainer at the Performance Center. Dusty attempted to convince The Authority to rehire his sons. The following week, Goldust fought Orton in an attempt to have Cody rehired, but was also fired after he lost. The tag team was formed when Cody was fired from the WWE after losing to Randy Orton in a match prompted by Cody's questioning of the company's chief operating officer Triple H's authority. Cody and Dustin are real life half-brothers and were once managed by their father, wrestling legend Dusty Rhodes. They are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and are also known for the time in WWE.
