Roman Reigns Sends Cody Rhodes to the Hospital After Brutal Attack
In a shocking and violent turn of events, Roman Reigns has once again reminded the WWE Universe why he is considered one of the most dangerous men in the industry today. During last night’s SmackDown, Reigns brutally assaulted Cody Rhodes, leaving “The American Nightmare” badly injured and rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
The attack occurred after Cody interrupted what was supposed to be a “Tribal Celebration” segment. Tensions have been building for weeks between the two top stars, but no one expected the level of carnage that followed. After a brief verbal exchange, Reigns snapped — launching a sudden and unrelenting attack.
Steel chairs, the announce table, and even the steel steps were used as weapons. Despite attempts from officials and security to break it up, Reigns refused to stop, delivering a final Spear through the barricade that left Cody motionless. EMTs arrived minutes later to stretcher him out of the arena.
WWE’s medical team later confirmed that Cody suffered internal injuries and will undergo further evaluation. There is currently no timeline for his return.
Fans online were outraged and concerned, with hashtags like #PrayForCody and #RomanSnaps trending immediately after the show.
Backstage sources suggest that this vicious assault wasn’t just personal — it was a message. With WrestleMania history still looming over Reigns, and Cody seen as the man who nearly “finished the story,” the Tribal Chief clearly felt it was time to take him out — by any means necessary.
Reigns offered no apology or explanation, only saying:
“He wanted my spotlight. Now he gets my wrath.”
The question now: Will Cody get back up… and when he does, what happens next?
