Cody Rhodes Actually Injured in John Cena and The Rock's Attack
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes reportedly suffered a busted eardrum and black eye from Travis Scott’s punches during John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber 2025.
Cody Rhodes reportedly sustained injuries during the shocking conclusion of WWE Elimination Chamber 2025. The Undisputed WWE Champion faced unexpected physical consequences from the chaos that unfolded after he rejected The Rock’s championship offer.
The situation developed when John Cena won the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, earning a championship opportunity against Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. What should have been a standard post-match confrontation took a dramatic turn.
Cena shocked the WWE Universe by aligning with The Final Boss instead of maintaining his traditional babyface persona. The 16-time World Champion unleashed an attack on Rhodes, completely altering the WrestleMania landscape.
The assault escalated when popular rapper Travis Scott joined the attack on The American Nightmare. Scott, who was present as a celebrity guest, became physically involved in the segment.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Rhodes suffered legitimate injuries during this chaotic segment. The report indicates specific damage resulted from Scott’s involvement. <blockquote Cody got hurt. I’m pretty sure it was Travis Scott that did it. I heard he had a busted eardrum and a black eye. </blockquote
Fan-captured footage circulating on social media shows Scott delivering several stiff shots to Rhodes during the segment. These unplanned or perhaps poorly executed strikes appear to be the source of the champion’s injuries.
The severity of these injuries and their potential impact on Rhodes’ WrestleMania 41 match remains unclear. WWE has not yet released an official statement regarding his condition.
This incident occurred after Rhodes rejected The Rock’s offer to become his “champion” earlier in the premium live event. The rejection triggered the alliance between Cena and The Final Boss.
The Undisputed WWE Champion now faces a challenging road to WrestleMania with both physical injuries and the threat of a powerful new alliance standing between him and a successful title defense in Las Vegas.
