Conrad Thompson disclosed a direct message from Cody Rhodes regarding the reported injury at WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto during a recent edition of the “83 Weeks” podcast.
Earlier reports indicated Rhodes had sustained a black eye and ruptured eardrum after an incident involving Travis Scott during the premium live event.
Thompson shared details of his conversation with Rhodes about the supposed injury.
I saw the report earlier this week, I checked on Cody and I was like, ‘Dude, I saw it, but a burst eardrum? Are you okay, holy s*it.’ He replied, ‘Didn’t touch me, I got a wild bruise somehow though’ and sent me a picture. I said, ‘Well damn, I’m glad you’re okay mostly.’ He jokingly said, ‘The horsemen got me.’
Thompson noted the discrepancy between Rhodes’ message and the visual evidence, as Rhodes is currently sporting a noticeable black eye.
I just thought it was funny that Cody even now is like, ‘Ah, he didn’t touch me.’ Now of course we know, that’s not the case, he’s sporting a major black eye right now. I don’t know if it’s true or not that he burst his ear drum but buddy, it is a brutal blow that we saw there.
