Elimination Chamber set the stage for WrestleMania 41 in a big way as John Cena earned the right to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All when he won the men’s Elimination Chamber match.
After the match Cody Rhodes made his way out to greet Cena, followed by The Rock and Travis Scott. John Cena then turned heel and aligned himself with The Rock as he, Rock and Travis Scott proceeded to beat Cody down. Following the show it was reported that Travis Scott legitimately injured Cody Rhodes when he slapped The American Nightmare.
During a recent episode of 83 Weeks, Conrad Thompson noted that he called Cody Rhodes to check in on him after seeing the report. According to Thompson, Cody Rhodes insisted that Travis Scott didn’t touch him.
“I saw the report earlier this week, I checked on Cody and I was like, ‘Dude, I saw it, but a burst eardrum? Are you okay, holy s***.’ He replied, ‘Didn’t touch me, I got a wild bruise somehow though’ and sent me a picture. I said, ‘Well damn, I’m glad you’re okay mostly.’ He jokingly said, ‘The horsemen got me.’”
“I just thought it was funny that Cody even now is like, ‘Ah, he didn’t touch me.’ Now of course we know, that’s not the case, he’s sporting a major black eye right now. I don’t know if it’s true or not that he burst his ear drum but buddy, it is a brutal blow that we saw there.”
One way or another Cody Rhodes is currently being advertised for this week’s episode of SmackDown, so it will be interesting to see what he has to say. Stay tuned for updates.
