Cody Rhodes isnt just dealing with the aftermath of his brutal WrestleMania 42 eye injury; he was ready to turn it into part of his character, but Triple H wasnt having it. After revealing the extent of the damage to his eye following his match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, Cody shared an interesting detail while speaking to SportsCenter, and it included a scrapped idea that never made it to TV. As he explained, he actually planned to show up on RAW and SmackDown wearing an eye patch, turning the injury into a visual part of his presentation. Cody then revealed that the idea didnt last long once it reached Triple H, who quickly shut it down before it could make it on screen. Cody made it clear he was ready to go through with the idea. Even with the rejection, the American Nightmare made it clear he wasnt upset about the decision, instead treating the injury as part of the job and something hes willing to carry forward. This adds more context to what was already a brutal situation, especially after Cody previously shared images showing his eye swollen shut and his face covered in blood backstage following the match. Instead of hiding it, he was ready to lean into it, but in the end, WWE went in a different direction. Cody tried to turn a nasty injury into a character moment, Triple H shut it down, and now what could have been eye patch Cody is just another behind-the-scenes story from WrestleMania weekend.
