Conrad Thompson went straight to the source.
At WWE Elimination Chamber, John Cena shocked the world by turning heel and aligning with The Rock. Travis Scott was in the ring during this segment and even added insult to injury by slapping Cody Rhodes when he was already down and out.
Days after the event, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said that he was pretty sure that Scott's slap gave Rhodes a black eye and a busted eardrum.
This report prompted Conrad Thompson to check in on 'The American Nightmare'.
“I saw the report earlier this week, I checked on Cody and I was like, ‘Dude, I saw it, but a burst eardrum? Are you okay, holy shit.’ He replied, ‘Didn’t touch me, I got a wild bruise somehow though’ and sent me a picture. I said, ‘Well damn, I’m glad you’re okay mostly.’ He jokingly said, ‘The horsemen got me.’” Thompson said on the latest edition of the 83 Weeks podcast.
Thompson continued on and tied Cody's response to 2022 when he also downplayed his pec injury before revealing it to the world at the Hell In A Cell event.
“I just thought it was funny that Cody even now is like, ‘Ah, he didn’t touch me.’ Now of course we know, that’s not the case, he’s sporting a major black eye right now. I don’t know if it’s true or not that he burst his ear drum but buddy, it is a brutal blow that we saw there.”
