Backstage News On Cody Rhodes' Eye Injury
The origin of Cody Rhodes' eye injury at WrestleMania 42 night one has been revealed.
According to PWInsider, it was a Randy Orton punch that caught Rhodes and opened him up, occurring right before the eyepoke spot that led into Orton hitting an RKO on referee Charles Robinson during the closing sequence of their Undisputed WWE Championship match.
Rhodes' eye swelled shut following the bout. He was subsequently placed in concussion protocol and pulled from a scheduled WWE World appearance and photo session on Sunday. There is currently no update on his condition beyond what was visible at the post-show.
Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship by hitting the Cross Rhodes despite being bloodied and visibly impaired in the match's final moments. After the victory, Orton attacked him with the title and delivered a punt kick, leaving Rhodes laid out on the canvas.
