This is what Dr. Chris Featherstone reported about the injury; "I was informed that Triple H’s physical involvement following Kevin Owens’s post-match attack on Cody Rhodes at #SNME is only to elevate Owens as a heel, and the Cody/Owens feud is slated to continue. A Triple H in-ring return is not in the plans at this time.”
As of now it is not confirmed if the injuring was real or kayfabe. But if the injury is real and if it takes a long time for Cody to healed, then he may have to vacate the Championship. We hope the injury is nothing serious and he get back to injury soon to continue his amazing WWE Championship run.
