The Undisputed WWE Champion suffered cervical spine injuries after a banned move was used in a post-match assault at Saturday Night's Main Event.

Cody Rhodes successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens at Saturday Night's Main Event, held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York.
Following the match, Owens attacked Rhodes with a brutal package piledriver, a banned move in WWE, leaving Rhodes injured and requiring immediate medical attention.
WWE confirmed that Rhodes suffered cervical swelling, axial compression of the cervical spine, and a cervical strain with spasm, though X-rays showed no fractures.
Rhodes was hospitalized overnight for observation and transported via stretcher and ambulance after the attack, with no confirmed timeline for his return to the ring.
WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque confronted Owens backstage about the assault, fueling speculation about whether the incident is part of a storyline or covers a legitimate injury.
