Cody Rhodes may have left WrestleMania 42 with the Undisputed WWE Championship, but the aftermath of his match is already affecting his schedule. WWE has officially pulled Rhodes from a planned WWE World appearance following the physical toll of his main event battle.
Rhodes was originally scheduled for a meet-and-greet on April 19, but fans who secured photo opportunities and autograph sessions were informed that the appearance had been canceled. The decision came directly as a result of injuries sustained during his match at WrestleMania.
The main event clash with Randy Orton was intense from start to finish. The match featured multiple chaotic moments, including outside interference and a dangerous table spot that further exacerbated the damage both competitors endured.
Rhodes ultimately retained his title, but the punishment did not end with the victory. The physical condition he was left in made it clear that the effects of the match would carry beyond WrestleMania night.
