At the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber premium live event, John Cena made a stunning turn, betraying Cody Rhodes and aligning himself with Dwayne โ€œThe Rockโ€ Johnsonโ€”an act many are calling the moment he “sold his soul” to The Great One.

During the chaotic attack, reports surfaced suggesting Cody may have suffered a busted eardrum at the hands of rapper Travis Scott. However, on 83 Weeks, Conrad Thompson shed light on the situation after checking in with Rhodes.

โ€œI saw the report earlier this week, so I reached out to Cody and said, โ€˜Dude, I saw itโ€”burst eardrum? Are you okay, holy shit?โ€™โ€ Thompson revealed. โ€œHe replied, โ€˜Didnโ€™t touch me. I got a wild bruise somehow though,โ€™ and even sent me a picture. I said, โ€˜Well damn, Iโ€™m glad youโ€™re okay mostly.โ€™ He jokingly said, โ€˜The Horsemen got me.โ€™โ€

Thompson found Codyโ€™s reaction amusing, noting that despite his denial, the damage was obvious. โ€œEven now, Codyโ€™s like, โ€˜Ah, he didnโ€™t touch me.โ€™ But, of course, we know thatโ€™s not the caseโ€”heโ€™s got a major black eye right now. I donโ€™t know if the burst eardrum report is true, but buddy, that was a brutal blow we all saw.โ€
