Post-match scenario after successful championship defense of Cody Rhodes against Kevin Owens left WWE fans in shock as Kevin attacked and injured the undisputed champion. And now WWE has officially revealed an update on Cody Rhodes injury.
The match between the two Superstars went really well with attacks and counterattacks, with Cody being successful in grabbing the win and retaining his title via pinfall in an old-school manner.
But this win wasn’t a happy ending for Cody, as Kevin Owens, in outrage, attacked Cody Rhodes brutally with the package piledriver, the same that he did with Randy Orton last month on SmackDown.
Cody Rhodes injury update by WWEÂ
Cody Rhodes was laid down on the stretcher by the referees and was taken to the local hospital. And now WWE has officially revealed an update on Cody Rhodes injury via WWE.com, which is as follows:
The historic return of Saturday Night’s Main Event ended with Cody Rhodes retaining the Undisputed WWE Title in a thrilling match, but Kevin Owens would bring an end to the night with a heinous attack on The American Nightmare after the broadcast went off the air.
Earlier today it was confirmed that Cody Rhodes suffered cervical swelling and was kept overnight at a local hospital for observation.
While X-rays were negative for a fracture, Rhodes has been officially diagnosed with axial compression of the cervical spine, as well as a cervical strain with spasm.
With this, the return of the Undisputed Champion remains uncertain, and the time for his recovery is also a mystery for now.
It seems like the rivalry between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes is far from over following this incident. We can expect a return by the champ somewhere around mid-January.
Randy Orton was also attacked by Kevin, so how WWE utilizes Randy in this storyline remains one more suspense that every fan has to bear for now.
So this was the complete update about Cody Rhodes injury from WWE.
