What happened

Rhodes was injured during his match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, and the visible damage was severe enough that WWE later described it as an orbital injury. Some reports said he needed stitches and staples as part of the treatment.[3][2]

Current status

The newest reporting says he is still not medically cleared, and there is no firm timetable for when he’ll return. WWE sources also indicated that he was being monitored in concussion protocol as a precaution.[4][5][3]

Latest sighting

On RAW after WrestleMania, Rhodes reportedly showed the injury publicly, which made the swelling and bruising more obvious. He also appeared at a fan meet-and-greet with the injury visible.[1][3]
