Cody Rhodes Forced To Vacate WWE Title After Suffering Two Broken Ribs From Jacob Fatu

Cody Rhodes Forced To Vacate WWE Title After Suffering Two Broken Ribs From Jacob Fatu Leaked
Latest Breaking WWE News & Rumors
Well guys, there is some truly sad news to share regarding The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes following a truly impactful episode of Friday Night SmackDown, and it appears as though the Undisputed Title run of Cody Rhodes has come to an abrupt end, after what transpired towards the end of the show Friday Night, and it's definitely caused a lot of chaos behind the scenes in WWE these last few days, as Triple H and other backstage officials are now going to be scrambling to find the answers for what they can do now that Cody's likely going to be forced to vacate or relinquish the Undisputed Championship in the coming days or weeks. Now for those of you who may have missed it, this past week was absolutely massive for WWE - it honestly felt a lot like the week after a WrestleMania pay-per-view, because on Monday Night Raw, we witnessed the return of Uncle Howdy with the new Wyatt six faction, Otis finally stood up for himself and the rest of Alpha Academy against Chad Gable, Seth Rollins made his major return to set his sights on Damian Priest's World Heavyweight Championship, and Drew McIntyre quit WWE, which obviously turned out to not actually be true. Now things didn't slow down much in WWE on SmackDown this past Friday, as there was a massive reunion between Paul Heyman and CM Punk, Drew McIntyre would later return in the show and absolutely destroy Punk sending him to the hospital, and the biggest moment would undoubtedly have to be the WWE debut of Jacob Fatu, who absolutely destroyed the Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes outside the ring with a devastating splash through the announcers table, and had one of the most impactful debuts in recent memory, and many fans feel Solo Sikoa is already overshadowed by Jacob Fatu in just one WWE appearance. However, as cool and impactful as Jacob Fatu's debut was on SmackDown this past Friday, unfortunately, the Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes suffered a serious injury as a result of the splash he took from Jacob through the announcers table - it was an absolutely vicious frog splash that looked painful for Cody Rhodes in real-time, but it has now been revealed that Cody suffered a serious injury because of it, and will likely be forced to vacate or relinquish the Undisputed Championship in the coming weeks on SmackDown!

So Roman could go months without defending the title, but Cody gets injured and they want him to vacate it.

[@tammybartlett6974]

Exactly what I was thinking and also Asuka is 1/2 of the female tag team champions and she is laid up with some sort of leg injury and nobody has said one thing about her having to relinquish her championship title. Plus I love Roman, but he didn’t have to fight every week let alone even have to show up for weeks and eventually months. Which is fine but I don’t think that there should be some being treated special and not have the same rules as everyone else in the house. And I’m just saying…. I just don’t think that it’s fair for some that gets special privileges and treatment. The same with Rhea having to relinquish hers because she was injured. And I agree that if you can’t defend it then you can’t keep it but you can’t have it that way for the majority but a few people don’t have to do what the masses have to do. That’s where you create a hostile atmosphere if you’re not careful. ❤🎉❤

[@Nishaoreo10]

Jacob Fatu is a blessing 🙌🏽. Cody run is boring, and he doesn't have a storyline worth watching. Solo is putting in that work

[@patrickpahl1995]

He wrestled the next day on Saturday in Bloomington at the WWE live and defended his title. So I don't believe it

[@elizabethwalden9723]

Cody rodes said the next day that he broke his ribes

[@131chuck]

If he's stripped of the championship NO ONE should just get it handed to them!!

Sames..or Raw

[@fordpwr316]

Whatever a couple broke ribs will heal in a couple weeks. Rollins was hurt and kept the belt til mania

[@RonnieMyers-yq2li]

Whats so crazy is I did notice a bit of a botch when that splash happened, but it looked more like Jacob landed a little more on the edge of the announcer table instead of landing squarely on Cody..I thought Jacob hurt himself and shook it off, but i see that wasnt the case

[@HighWoody]

It’s storyline no way they would let him wrestle in the ring and risk his safety.

[@user-nr9cn8qm3o]

Nooooo HHH!!!!! Please don’t do this to us man please don’t!!!!!! Don’t tell me you’re gonna give solo or anyone else in the damn bloodline the championship. You seen how we felt about Roman holding the title hostage for 4+ years bruh cmon man!!!

No worse decision ever made regarding Cody's title reign. Absolutely shameful & ridiculous. Wasted potential for a legitmate fighting champion.

[@chitogaspar9473]

@@robertferguson4558 lol nothings happening he’s selling the injury what ever this guy says in his videos is a lie he needs. Fact check

[@craziscoth]

Solo is probably least deserving of the title. If Cody does have to vacate they should be looking at LA Knight

[@BarbaraLouw-vp5zf]

I agree with you. Or Randy Orton

[@khandrewmomoa5616]

Yeah.

[@judithchaney3744]

Why reward the bloodline there's gotta be somebody else

[@vernolabullock5918]

No l don't want Cody to vacant his belt let him go and heal his ribs. He has work to hard to get to where he is now. If Roman had a broken ribs would they be asking him to vacant his belt 🤔. Baltimore MD 🙏

[@SuperWealthyrich]

CM punk never went to the hospital. It was part of the story line. CM punk was seen driving his car after the show.

[@TranceMasterJack]

That was his clone.

[@funkyweapon1981]

​@@TranceMasterJackMC Knup?

[@scottdawson7100]

Randy Orton for next champion 😊

[@michaeljenkins8615]

Yes. Put it on solo. Then when Cody gets back he gets a shot at it. Then Roman comes back and helps Cody and starts a baby face return!

[@heathenhawk853]

the wraps are far too low for it to give any support to any ribs LMAO . It is a work marks , Zero chance a dr clears someone with busted ribs to take bumps and risk a collapsed lung or punctured vital organs ect.

[@michaelkosta551]

Solo is Champion at MITB and Then Solo faces Roman wins it back Summer Slam with the help of Jacob Fatu

[@tishamathis1607]

My vote is on Solo

[@lamarrice1562]

No, you should not put the belt on Sikoa because how has he earned it every match he fight he has to have the bloodline help him. It needs to go to an independent person that fights their own battles.

[@charlieseesall5468]

Randy Orton should get title run

[@Kingmight-vg4fq]

Thank you

[@davidpaulson538]

If Cody must relinquish the championship, Randy Orton was a great chamion. Maybe let Randy have a run with the belt

[@Snakeman19781]

Cody’s fine and he’s not putting that belt down without being pinned Roman didn’t show up every night

[@tjcpeters9415]

That's messed up if has to give up belt when Roman was able to sit out for months without even having a match

[@kimharper7027]

CM punk is all right he did not go to the hospital a fan taped him driving off and his automobile after smackdown was over it was just a show a gimmick

[@michaelwebb9972]

I feel Drew should win the possibly vacated title. NOT Solo. His record stinks and he has NEVER held main roster gold. Drew is now on Samckdown and could hold the title ALL the way to Summerslam if not till WM next April in his feud with Punk.

[@richieperez8315]

If he was really hurt he wouldn't have wrestle, it is story line

[@markhobbs8310]

You act like Cody never wrestled hurt hell in the cell that pec was nasty

[@brentdavis62]

Jacob fatu has the best chance of becoming the undisputed world heavyweight champion

[@juanitagamble1928]

What about Randy Orton deserve that championship belt

[@andrewtimson3249]

Give the belt to Randy Orton

[@Snakeman19781]

He won’t miss MSG as champ

[@PhillipSwindall]

I guess that had NOTHING to do with his attack on rage wannabe Bloodline tonight

[@Bearded-Dragon62]

I don’t think they will make him vacate the title because fans will be so damn pissed because Roman only wrestled at main events mostly and had plenty of time away while he was champ,so that makes no sense

[@patrickpahl1995]

Was there with my son and he was awesome

[@lisajones1228]

Give it to Randy Orton

[@LisaSchipler]

When are they going to do something about the bloodline for real

Randy should be champ if the take it from Cody

I hope they dont blame Jacob Fatu

[@robertferguson4558]

The one who landed less than perfectly on his opponent from the top of the turnbuckle, driving him into a table which may or may not have collapsed correctly, ending the journey on concrete with 280 pounds of insane Samoan on top of him. He might have gotten the direction but he was the one who executed the move.

Sorry but if he had 2 broken ribs, he wouldn't have wrestled in that live event, to dangerous for his health. I had 2 broken ribs and doctors won't allow you to do anything physical, let alone wrestle shortly after.

[@daniellecross8589]

Give Cody the Roman treatment. Only have him be an on screen guy. Have him actually wrestle once a month, if that. Till he's healthy again. I get, he wants to be like his buddy, Seth Rollins. But, he's been waiting his entire life to World Champ. And you're gonna take that from him, because of something that was out of his control? It just doesn't sit right with me

[@bessiebusby2694]

You know wwe just don’t want Cody to be on top they always doing something to bring him down this is just sad

[@philipspigelmeyer959]

If ppl really think 2 broken ribs are a serious injury then your legit crazy😂😂 ive broken my foot and still played soccer for 2 months after. Its more of what you can do with it being broken. With ribs he will just have to take it easy for like a momth or so and he will be fine unless he doesmt actually take iy easy

[@tyronesmith1166]

[@AtohiAkeen]

Thats hard to believe that his Ribs are not good but we will see on SmackDown but i guarantee you Cody Rhodes is not Hurt like that he will Continue to Defend his WWE Championship but if he is injured then thats going to suck because we will never get to see his Title match against Randy Orton & The Rock or even Kevin Owen's or LA Knight so we will see what happens next with that in the future and what Triple H will decide to do next with that also too hopefully by then so we will see once it happens that way but i have a feeling Solo Sikoa will probably have Jacob Fatu beat up Cody Rhodes again so that way he can Vacate the Title so we will see hopefully from there

Andrew will lose his title against CM punk and CM punk become WHWC and then it’ll all start again that’s my prediction mark my words it will happen.😊
