Cody Rhodes Sports Neck Brace After Brutal Post-Match Attack by Kevin Owens

WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes has been spotted for the first time since Kevin Owens left him battered and bruised with a vicious post-show attack. The American Nightmare was seen at Brandi Rhodes’ Naked Mind Yoga and Pilates studio in Atlanta, Georgia, wearing a neck brace and staying true to the art of selling the devastating package piledriver he took from Owens.

The shocking move, banned in WWE due to its high risk, came after Saturday Night’s Main Event went off the air on NBC. WWE confirmed in a statement that Rhodes suffered “axial compression of the cervical spine, as well as a cervical strain with spasm” and noted he “stayed in the hospital overnight” for evaluation.

Despite the serious injury angle, Rhodes kept his commitment to meet fans at his wife’s yoga studio. Social media erupted with fans sharing clips of the brutal attack, which included Cody being stretchered out of the arena. The drama didn’t stop there—Owens and Paul “Triple H” Levesque had an intense confrontation backstage, leaving many wondering what’s next in this escalating feud.

Cody Rhodes is proving why he’s the face of WWE, blending dedication, storytelling, and a dash of flair—even while rocking a neck brace. Whether this rivalry with Kevin Owens ends in redemption or another jaw-dropping twist, one thing’s for sure: The American Nightmare knows how to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
