Cody Rhodes Not Currently Cleared For Physicality On WWE TV Following WrestleMania 42 Injury

Cody Rhodes is not currently cleared for physicality after suffering an eye injury at WrestleMania 42, although the Undisputed WWE Champion is not believed to have sustained a broken orbital bone.

That is according to Dave Meltzer, who reported on Wrestling Observer Radio:

"He is in concussion protocol, which means that no physicality, but he does not have a concussion or does not believe he has a concussion. The eye has not been fully examined but the belief is that it's not a broken orbital. I think the fact that he came out looking like that and shot that angle makes me think they are of the belief that it's not something that's going to keep him out for a long period of time….The hope is, and I would say the belief is, he didn't have that (broken orbital bone)."

Cody Rhodes appeared on the Raw after WrestleMania 42 and had a friendly exchange with CM Punk, during which it was set up that Punk will challenge Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at some point in the future, with Cody telling his friend just to tell him when he wanted the match.

Rhodes sustained a gnarly-looking eye injury during the main event of WrestleMania Saturday against Randy Orton, with Cody reportedly suffering the injury when Orton punched his opponent flush in the eye before the eye-poke spot which resulted in Orton hitting an RKO to referee Charles Robinson.
