[WATCH] Cody Rhodes nearly suffers serious injury on WWE RAW

The latest edition of WWE RAW featured a title defense for Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. The American Nightmare nearly suffered a serious injury in the final moments of the contest.

Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso appeared with their new Undisputed Tag Team Championship on RAW this week. The two men won the titles from Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and Damian Priest at Fastlane. The champs were confirmed by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn early in their promo, leading to a main event match for the gold in the main event of RAW.

Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso worked well throughout the contest. The Undisputed Tag Team Champions went for their new tag team finisher, in which Jey lifts the opponent while Cody Rhodes hits his signature move, the Cody Cutter. However, since his back is turned, he has to rely on both men to position themselves perfectly.

Owens wasn’t in the best of positions to take the finisher, leading to The American Nightmare falling on his neck and nearly spiking himself. The spot could have resulted in a neck or head injury or a concussion. Fans were very worried for their favorite superstar.
