WWE 'WrestleMania 42': Cody Rhodes wins, Randy Orton snaps
WWE said Rhodes is not medically cleared after Orton’s post-match attack left him with an orbital injury, sutures and staples.
- On Saturday night at WrestleMania 42, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes retained his title against Randy Orton but sustained severe injuries following a post-match assault by The Viper.
- After the bell, Orton attacked Rhodes with the championship belt and performed his "Punt Kick," a move reportedly scheduled to secure him the title before the decision changed within weeks.
- WWE's Jackie Redmond announced that Rhodes is not medically cleared to compete, confirming the attack caused an orbital injury requiring three sutures to his face and four staples to his head.
- Consequently, WWE pulled Rhodes from his scheduled Sunday appearance at WWE World, with host Peter Rosenberg confirming the champion is in concussion protocol following the severe damage.
- With Backlash in Tampa less than three weeks away, Rhodes' return timetable remains uncertain, though a rematch against Orton is a potential outcome if the champion is medically cleared.
