During the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble ladder match against Kevin Owens, Cody Rhodes sustained multiple injuries, including a concerning moment after taking a Fisherman Buster onto a ladder from the top rope.
WWE reporter Jackie Redmond provided an update on Rhodes’ condition following the match.
The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes is dealing with multiple injuries. I can’t confirm the intensity or severity of the injuries, but what I can tell you is that they are bad enough that he will not be addressing the media in tonight’s press conference. In fact, his in-ring status may be up in the air as well. What I can confirm for you Tess, Cody Rhodes will still attend Friday Night SmackDown this week in Memphis. But considering this is WrestleMania season, this will be devastating news if Cody is unable to compete for any amount of time.
Despite his injuries, Rhodes is scheduled to appear at SmackDown in Memphis this week, though his in-ring status remains uncertain during the crucial WrestleMania season.
