Amid the chaos of John Cena turning heel at Elimination Chamber on Saturday, WWE champion Cody Rhodes reportedly suffered an injury. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t WrestlePurists),

At WWE Elimination Chamber in Toronto, The Rock, accompanied by Travis Scott, sought Cody Rhodes' alliance with him after The Rock demanded that Rhodes be his champion and give him his soul. Rhodes' rejection led The Rock to find a different champion: John Cena.

A stiff slap delivered by the chart-topping rapper during the closing scene of Elimination Chamber is said to have left the WWE champ with a ‘busted’ eardrum and black eye.
