Last week on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes defeated Carmelo Hayes in the show’s main event. During the match, Rhodes landed hard on his shoulder during a Cody Cutter attempt and the match ended shortly thereafter. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Rhodes is not listed as injured on WWE’s internal reports. This comes after Rhodes was asked if he was ok by Fightful Select and responded “always”. Rhodes is scheduled to defend the WWE Universal Title against AJ Styles this Saturday at Backlash.

Opinion: That is quite the relief as you never want to see someone get hut in any way. Rhodes being hurt would be a terrible situation for WWE as he is the undisputed top star in the company right now.
