• Good News For Cody Rhodes’ Fans After WrestleMania 42
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes suffered an eye injury during his match at WrestleMania 42 – Night 1 after taking a heavy shot from Randy Orton just before the sequence that led into the RKO on referee Charles Robinson.
The impact caused immediate swelling around Rhodes’ eye, which worsened after the match and required medical attention backstage from WWE staff. Below is a photo shared by a fan who met Rhodes after the match:
During the WrestleMania 42 Sunday Countdown Show, Jackie Redmond revealed that Cody is not medically cleared and suffered an orbital socket injury. He also needed 3 sutures to the face and 4 staples to the back of the head. She also revealed that Cody’s eye is still shut.
In an update from Bodyslam, The American Nightmare is not expected to relinquish the Undisputed WWE Championship due to this injury. WWE will monitor his health and likely give an update on this Friday’s SmackDown.
• Spoiler On Roman Reigns’ 2 Upcoming Feuds
Roman Reigns dethroned CM Punk to become the new World Heavyweight Champion in the main event of WrestleMania 42 – Night 2.
According to Bodyslam, two of Roman’s upcoming feuds will be against Gunther and Oba Femi. Both Gunther and Oba picked up big wins at WrestleMania 42. The Ring General defeated Seth Rollins, while The Ruler seemingly retired Brock Lesnar.
The seeds for Roman vs. Oba were planted last night. Speaking on the WrestleMania 42 post show, Femi spoke about his victory and shared what it meant for him.
“It feels amazing, because it’s one thing to tell everybody what you are, and another to show everybody exactly what you are. I took 25 years of history, 25 years of dominance from The Beast and made it null, because I am what I say I am. The Ruler, The Destroyer, The Bringer of War, Oba Femi!”
He then turned his attention to The Tribal Chief and hinted at a future showdown.
“I think tomorrow is a celebration. I think in the coming weeks is the establishment of a new main event player. And I think at the end of the year, The OTC can GET SOME!”
Reigns then responded to him later on the show:
“Oba had a big night. Oba, you gonna kill me? You still seem a little fresh in this business. You did a big thing tonight, but I’ve done that many times. I did that with the title on the line. Let’s see how you do in the Summer, then we’ll see if you can step to the Greatest of All Time.”
Heading into WrestleMania 42, there had been concern among fans about Reigns winning the title due to him working a part-time schedule in recent years, which was also a major issue during his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship reign. Many feared a new title run would follow the same pattern with limited appearances.
However, that doesn’t appear to be the plan this time. Speaking on the post show, The OTC made it clear that he intends to be a regular presence on WWE programming throughout the summer.
“I’m gonna take you all to Monday Night RAW tomorrow night. All this part time crap? We’re gonna fix that. Y’all better make some room, because you’re gonna see my a$$ all Summer!”
