The Bloodline is currently one of the most menacing factions in the WWE, alongside the Wyatt Sicks. And the new Bloodline, with Solo Sikoa at the helm, is rapidly growing, as the WWE Universe finally saw the debut of The Warewolf, Jacob Fatu. 

After weeks of rumors, Fatu made his presence felt on the June 21st edition of SmackDown, dismantling Cody Rhodes. During a recent house show, The American Nightmare confirmed that he suffered legitimate injuries after the attack by Jacob Fatu.

Cody Rhodes reveals he sustained serious injuries following Jacob Fatu’s attack

Cody Rhodes was seen wearing his scars at a recent live event in Bloomington, as he was taped around his waist. After defeating Shinsuke Nakamura in a singles match, Rhodes revealed he suffered two broken ribs as a result of Jacob Fatu’s violent attack

He stated, “The loyal WWE fans saw what happened on SmackDown. So, before you hear from anybody else, a little scoop for you Bloomington. Last night I did break two of my ribs.”

By the looks of it, Cody Rhodes may have cracked his ribs while taking a crushing splash from Fatu through the announce table. Rhodes wasn’t the only one who faced Fatu’s onslaught, as Kevin Owens took a Samoan Drop on the steel steps. Additionally, Randy Orton took a Spear through the barricade. 

Nonetheless, now that Cody Rhodes has confirmed his injury, it’s more of a touch-and-go situation for him to perform anytime soon. However, the fact that he did perform at the live event despite two broken ribs may indicate that he could work Money in the Bank.
