Cody Rhodes Details WrestleMania Injuries, Shrugs Off Gunther’s ‘Home Turf’ Claims Ahead of Clash in Italy

Cody Rhodes opened up about the aftermath of his WrestleMania injuries, revealing his eye was “completely swollen shut” and that he required multiple staples and stitches to his head — yet still worked the following week while retaining the WWE Championship. Rhodes used the interview to underscore his resilience, saying he’s “built a little different” after enduring the damage and moving forward without concern.

Promoting his WWE Title defense against Gunther at Clash in Italy on May 31 in Turin, Rhodes dismissed the notion that the event would be Gunther’s home advantage, arguing “Europe is not a monolith” and predicting an electric Italian crowd “like France was.” The PLE’s card also features Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat, Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca with the Intercontinental Title on the line, Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill, and Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi.
