Cody Rhodes is the current Undisputed WWE Champion and he successfully defended his title against Randy Orton in the night 1 main event of WrestleMania 42 earlier this month. Unfortunately for Cody he suffered an eye injury during the match and he showed up on the following episode of Raw sporting some gruesome bruises on his face.
While talking about the injury on Sportscenter, The American Nightmare noted that he wanted to wear an eye patch to cover up the injury, but Triple H shot the idea down.
“We tried a little [makeup] on the eye, but I think we determined there was no way to cover it up. I’ll tell you something funny, I thought I was going to go to TV, go to Monday Night Raw, go to Friday Night SmackDown, and do an eye patch thing. I thought that would be cool. Wrestlers are always looking for something, maybe get a new action figure out of it, Eye Patch Cody.
Triple H told me absolutely not. There might even be a shot on Unreal of me throwing that eye patch down backstage, because I had it ready to go. But hey, it comes with the territory more than anything. I had no complaints, it’s just a little battle scar.”
