Cody Rhodes' Bruised Eye Takes Over Social Media
It all started when images of Cody Rhodes’s battle-scarred face surfaced online. WWE fans were already buzzing about the match itself, but the sight of Rhodes sporting a deep purple shiner took the conversation in a whole new direction.
The situation escalated further when people started joking that he looked like a Bond villain because, honestly, with that bruised eye, all he needed was a sinister smirk and a dramatic monologue. The comparisons spread like wildfire, with users piling on the jokes and demanding answers about how Travis Scott ended up delivering such a powerful slap.
Naturally, the internet had a lot to say. One fan summed up what many were thinking:
“I swear bro, he looks like a James Bond villain 😭😭😭.”
Others were less amused and more concerned about how Travis Scott ended up inside a WWE ring to begin with.
“I hope Travis never enters a ring again,”
One fan wrote, clearly unimpressed.
Then there were the ones who couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
“Travis slapped the sht out of him 💀,”
A shocked viewer commented. Given the size difference between the two, many didn’t expect Scott’s slap to have such an effect. Some, however, thought it added to Cody’s aura.
“Makes him look badass,”
One fan pointed out, proving that in the world of wrestling, a little battle damage can go a long way in building hype.
Of course, not everyone was happy. There were plenty of fans who demanded that Travis Scott never be allowed near a WWE event again.
“Get Travis out of the WWE,”
One tweet read, while another warned, “Travis Scott, you better be ready, son.” Whether that was a threat or just WWE fans hyping up a possible comeback moment, it’s safe to say emotions were running high.
At the end of the day, Cody Rhodes’ bruised eye has now earned a spot in internet history. It’s not every day that a wrestling event ends with a rapper unintentionally becoming the biggest talking point of the night.
