As of 2024, Jey performs on the Raw brand, while Jimmy is a free agent because of an injury. In WWE they are eight-time Tag team champions (three-time Raw Tag Team Champions and five-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions). Their fifth reign as SmackDown Tag Team Champions is the longest tag team championship reign in the company at 622 days.
