Cody Rhodes Injured At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event On 12/13
“The American Nightmare” had a tough night at the office on Saturday night.
Opening up the historic John Cena WWE retirement show, WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. was Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi.
The match saw Rhodes suffer a badly busted open ear, which bled like crazy after an uppercut on the floor and spot on the commentary desk at ringside near the conclusion of the match.
When all was said-and-done, things wrapped up with a non-finish as Drew McIntyre attacked Rhodes, leading to the referee calling for the bell. Femi shoved McIntyre down on his ass and Rhodes raised Femi’s hand afterwards in a sign of respect.
