Cody Rhodes immediate future in WWE just became less certain, as a new update suggests his ability to compete at Backlash is still very much in question following WrestleMania 42. After Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton in the chaotic Night One main event, concerns quickly surfaced about the damage he suffered during the match. His left eye swelled badly in the aftermath, raising fears about a possible fracture and his availability for WWEs next premium live event. Dave Meltzer reported that Rhodes condition is still being closely monitored, and his status for Backlash remains undecided while doctors continue evaluating the injury. That uncertainty comes after Rhodes was placed into concussion protocol following the match, which initially raised concerns about a potential head injury. However, the latest information suggests that move was precautionary rather than the result of confirmed trauma. There is also still some uncertainty about exactly how the injury occurred during the match. Rhodes took several heavy shots in the closing moments, including a punch from Randy Orton that appeared to land flush. Another possibility involves accidental contact during the Cody Cutter into RKO sequence. While there is at least some encouraging news including early indications that Rhodes may have avoided an orbital bone fracture the uncertainty surrounding Backlash remains the biggest question right now. Rhodes walked out of WrestleMania 42 still holding the Undisputed WWE Championship, but with Backlash approaching, WWE may soon face a difficult decision depending on how his recovery progresses over the coming days. Do you think WWE should still book Cody Rhodes for Backlash if hes medically cleared at the last minute, or should the company hold him off until hes fully recovered?
