Mayhem erupted on Friday Night SmackDown as Roman Reigns unleashed a merciless assault on Cody Rhodes, leaving “The American Nightmare” hospitalized and the WWE Universe in total shock.
The show had barely begun when tensions between Reigns and Rhodes boiled over. After weeks of subtle jabs and rising hostility, Roman Reigns—flanked by Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline—stormed to the ring, demanding that Cody answer for his recent comments about “finishing the story.” But what happened next wasn’t just about words—it was war.
Cody, never one to back down, confronted Reigns head-on, microphone in hand and fire in his voice. “I don’t fear you, Roman. I beat you once, and I’ll do it again,” he declared. That was the final straw. Reigns dropped the mic, and the ambush began.
The crowd erupted as Solo Sikoa blindsided Rhodes from behind, sending him crashing to the mat. Jimmy Uso joined the fray, and what followed was a calculated, cold-blooded beatdown. Reigns watched for a moment before stepping in, methodically dismantling Cody with punishing Superman Punches, multiple chair shots, and finally, a brutal spear through the timekeeper’s area.
Officials and referees rushed down, but the damage was done. Bloodied and barely conscious, Cody was loaded onto a stretcher as fans looked on in stunned silence. The tribal chief stood over him, holding up the Undisputed Championship with a sinister smirk.
Backstage, chaos reigned. Triple H and Adam Pearce were seen arguing heatedly, demanding consequences for Roman’s actions. Meanwhile, Cody was rushed to a nearby medical facility with reports of possible rib fractures and a mild concussion.
Reigns addressed the attack in a post-show exclusive. “Cody thought this was a game. He disrespected the Head of the Table. Now he knows—this isn’t a story. This is real. And in my world, fairy tales end in pain.”
Social media exploded with reactions. Hashtags like #JusticeForCody and #RomanSnaps trended worldwide. Fans expressed outrage, fear, and anticipation—wondering what this means for Cody’s future and the path to SummerSlam.
While Cody’s condition is being closely monitored, one thing is clear: the road to redemption just got a whole lot more dangerous. Roman Reigns has sent a brutal message to anyone who dares challenge his throne. And for Cody Rhodes, the question isn’t just can he finish his story—it’s will he survive it?
Stay tuned for updates as this explosive rivalry continues to shake the very foundations of WWE.
