WWE star Cody Rhodes was recently involved in a botch that left him bleeding freely at the end of the match on this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw.
Cody had confronted Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley this week after the latter was presented with a new championship to kick off the show. This came after the two ambushed him last week, and Dominik slapped him before hiding behind his “Mami.”
He challenged Dominik to a bout at Money in the Bank, but first, he had to face The Miz this week on Raw.
Cody Rhodes was bleeding after the botch
While Cody Rhodes went on to defeat The Miz, during the match, there was a botch that saw him cut open on the back of his head. He was thrown into the ring steps during the match that saw a laceration open up on the back of his head.
The star didn’t let that stop him, but fans immediately noticed that his head was bleeding again and pointed it out on social media.
While it’s not confirmed, it appears that the moment he was Irish Whipped into the ring steps was when the botch happened, with the cut appearing soon after. It remains to be seen whether he will address the gash on social media.
Meanwhile, Eric Bischoff discussed Cody’s future in WWE during his recent interview with Ariel Helwani and shared his bold prediction. He was quoted as saying:
“I watched Sunday night when we got here to Tampa with my son, we watched the A&E biography series of Dusty Rhodes. The underdog and the comeback, and that was Dusty’s story. He was a son of a plumber, grew up in Austin, Texas and fought his way up, and became the big superstar. But he never got that WWE title, and now is Cody’s turn.”
The former RAW general manager believes that Cody Rhodes will recreate a version of his father’s rise to the top.
“I think what we are seeing is a version of that long ride to the top. If I am right, it will be one of the best things we have seen in professional wrestling, creatively. If I am wrong, I am going to be hot. I am gonna be disappointed,” Bischoff added.
