Rhodes took to his Instagram page on Friday to reveal that his moonsault off the top of the cage resulted in a fracture to his big toe. However, the injury won’t prevent him from wrestling MJF at next Saturday night’s AEW Revolution PPV event in Chicago.
“”Long way down…” – small fracture in my big toe, but I’m on a treatment plan with @docwholifts_1 & CLEARED for action. @allelitewrestling @aewontnt #aew,” Cody wrote.
AEW then confirmed the injury on their Twitter account, writing:
“As first reported by @CodyRhodes on his IG account https://www.instagram.com/p/B82VErulFjE/?igshid=14pkl5jg2ks1i โฆ And confirmed by @DocSampson13. Due to Cody’s foot hitting the mat after landing the moonsault, he has a: Non-displaced fracture of distal phalanx R great toe.
His status: Cleared for action as tolerated.”
