Cody Rhodes retained his Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Royal Rumble, defeating Kevin Owens in a ladder match.
Rhodes was banged up in the match and is dealing with multiple injuries according to Jackie Redmond.
"Cody Rhodes is dealing with multiple injuries. I can't confirm the intensity or severity of those injuries, but what I will tell you is that they are bad enough that Cody will not be addressing the media in tonight's press conference. In fact, his in-ring status might even be up in the air as well. What I can confirm is that Cody Rhodes will still attend Friday Night SmackDown in Memphis," said Jackie at the WWE Royal Rumble post-show press conference.
Here is the current lineup for Friday's WWE SmackDown:
