Cody Rhodes beat Kevin Owens in a scale match at Royal Rumble To keep the undisputed WWE championship. However, his victory can have a heavy price. During Royal Rumble After the show, Jackie Redmond of WWE provided a dark update on the state of Rhodes.
“I am of good female that” the American nightmare “Cody Rhodes faces multiple injuries,” said Redmond. She could not confirm the severity of these injuries, but said that they were important enough to prevent her from speaking with the media.
“In fact, his ring status can be uncertain,” added Redmond. She confirmed that Rhodes would assist Smack down This Friday evening in Memphis, tn. “Since it is officially the Wrestlemania season, this could be a new devastator if Cody Rhodes is unable to compete for a duration,” said Redmond. Joe Tessitore noted that Rhodes was under medical observation.
Rhodes and Owens have embarked on one of the most brutal scale matches in WWE history. One of the most shocking moments of the night occurred while the two men stood on the second rope. After Owens blocked an attempt as suplex by Rhodes, he countered with a buster fisherman on Rhodes on a scale. Smackdown’s general manager Nick Aldis, the staff, and Sami Zayn, probably in the scenario, came to check the two men.
Remarkably, Owens and Rhodes have recovered and delivered another moment of crisp bone. With a scale parked through the ring deck and the announcement office, Rhodes led an Owens bleeding through the ladder with an Alabama slam.
After the match, Rhodes celebrated, although he seemed to be shaken. However, he left the ring under his own power. We do not know if WWE amplifies the exhausting night of Rhodes for a dramatic effect or if it is really at risk of missing Wrestlemania.
