Cody Rhodes Reveals Scrapped Plans for Eye Patch Gimmick After WrestleMania 42 Injury

TLDR

Cody Rhodes revealed that he planned to wear an eye patch on RAW and SmackDown following his eye injury from his WrestleMania 42 match with Randy Orton, hoping to turn the injury into part of his character presentation. Triple H rejected the idea before it could make it to television, with Rhodes stating he was ready to go through with the eye patch gimmick and had even brought the prop backstage. Rhodes expressed no complaints about the decision, calling his injury "just a little battle scar" that comes with the territory.
