Cody Rhodes walked out of WrestleMania 42 still holding the Undisputed WWE Championship, but new details reveal exactly how he ended up with a swollen eye after the brutal main event. Rhodes eye injury happened during his match with Randy Orton when Orton landed a punch that caught Rhodes clean and cut him near the eye. The blow occurred just before the eyepoke sequence that led to Orton hitting an RKO on referee Charles Robinson during the chaotic closing moments of the match. His eye swelled significantly after the bout, which explains why WWE made the decision to pull him from scheduled WrestleMania weekend appearances. Rhodes had been set to appear at WWE World for photo ops and autograph sessions, but the appearance was canceled due to injuries suffered during the WrestleMania main event. There is still no official word on how serious the injury is or whether it could affect his in-ring schedule moving forward, but being pulled from WWE World shows the damage wasnt minor. Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship in the chaotic Night One main event against Randy Orton, a match filled with interference and wild moments, including Pat McAfee getting involved and Jelly Roll crashing through the announce table during the closing stretch. With Rhodes already sidelined from public appearances and dealing with a swollen eye, attention now turns to how quickly he can recover after one of the toughest matches of WrestleMania weekend.
