Earlier this week, Cody Rhodes underwent knee surgery, and he is hoping to be cleared in time to compete at AEW’s Double Or Nothing PPV, which is still several months away on May 25th.
Rhodes posted the following photo on Instagram, revealing a swollen knee following surgery, but added a positive caption which reads “2 days out from the scope. Weight bearing. Swelling still pretty prominent but going down.”

NXT Stars Set For Smackdown Events
As the creative “shake up” in WWE continues, it appears as if more NXT stars might be making their main roster debuts in the coming weeks, alongside names like EC3, Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross and Heavy Machinery, who have all graduated to Raw.
According to PWInsider, Candice LeRae, wife of NXT star Johnny Gargano, is expected to be working several upcoming Smackdown Live events in the coming weeks, but her debut date has yet to be revealed.
[lawrence-related id=876479]Another NXT name set to work upcoming live events for the blue brand is former NXT Women’s Champion Kairi Sane. Sane, who won the inaugural Mae Young Classic, has competed at main roster events in the past, but has yet to appear on main roster television.
As of this writing, the two NXT standouts are being scheduled for non-televised live events, and it remains unknown if WWE has plans to move either or both of the names to TV.
