Cody Rhodes Wanted Nick Fury Look For RAW After WrestleMania 42?

Cody Rhodes is recovering from an eye injury sustained during his WWE WrestleMania 42 match against Randy Orton , and he had a creative idea for handling it on television that Triple H quickly vetoed. Rhodes opened up about the injury and the backstage exchange during an interview on ESPN’s SportsCenter , and the conversation also touched on the possibility that his reaction to the decision was captured for the WWE: Unreal series. “We tried a little makeup on the eye, but I think we determined there was no way to cover it up,” Rhodes said.

“I’ll tell you something funny — I thought I was going to go to TV, go to Monday Night Raw, go to Friday Night SmackDown, and do an eye patch thing. I thought that would be cool. “Wrestlers are always looking for something — maybe get a new action figure out of it, ‘Eye Patch Cody.

’ Triple H told me absolutely not. There might even be a shot on Unreal of me throwing that eye patch down backstage, because I had it ready to go,” he added. “But hey, it comes with the territory more than anything.

I had no complaints — it’s just a little battle scar. ” WWE announcer Joe Tessitore broke the news at the WrestleMania 42 post-show, confirming that Rhodes had suffered an eye injury during the match and was being treated by doctors. Images and videos showing Rhodes with a bloodied and bruised face and his left eye appearing swollen shut spread across social media almost immediately.
