Cody Rhodes emerged victorious against newly drafted SmackDown star Carmelo Hayes in the main event of last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
While executing the Cody Cutter, Rhodes appeared to have landed improperly on his shoulder, causing concern among fans about his potential injury.
Fightful is reporting that when asked if he was okay after the match, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion responded with “always.”
While seemingly reassuring, this response leaves lingering uncertainty about Rhodes’ condition. It is still unclear whether this statement confirms that Rhodes was not hurt.
For reference, the video of the match can be viewed below, with the botched spot occurring around the 5:39 mark.
Additionally, Rhodes had an autograph signing event yesterday in Newport, Ohio, with an impressive turnout of thousands of fans. The queue for the event was so lengthy that it had to be capped.
