The Dashing Ones was the the name of a SmackDown-based tag team. It was formed by former Legacy member and World Tag Team Champion, "Dashing" Cody Rhodes and former Intercontinental champion Drew McIntyre.
They qualified as #1 contender to the WWE World Tag Team Championship (after it had absorbed the World Tag Team Championship) tag team title by winning a non-title match on SmackDown against then-champions the Hart Dynasty.[1]. They successfully wrested the title from Dynasty at the Night of Champions pay-perview. They then successfully defended it after the Dynasty invoked a rematch clause.[2]
They later lost a match against then-WWE champion Randy Orton.[3]
Then they defeated the team of Kofi Kingston and Kaval.[4]
Both members were unable to join Team Smackdown for bragging rights. Drew and Cody lost to Kofi and Rey Mysterio respectively.[5]
They later lost their titles to Nexus members John Cena and David Otunga.
After losing to Big Show and Kofi Kingston, TDO broke up. They later lost a 3-way match for the number 1 contendership to the IC title when Drew was pinned by MVP.
