WWE star Cody Rhodes picked up a huge win over Seth Rollins inside the Hell In A Cell at the namesake Premium Live event. It was previously speculated that he might be a part of the show as it was announced that he suffered an injury. He also cut an emotional promo following the victory.
Cody Rhodes might be sidelined for 4-6 months
WWE announced shortly before the event that Rhodes tore his right pectoral tendon off the bone while preparing to face Seth Rollins. Despite showing severe bruising, he went on to defeat his long-term rival in a gruesome battle that lasted for 24 minutes. The injury is quite severe and WrestlingInc’s Raj Giri stated that Rhodes suffered a complete tear. Giri stated that Rhodes might need a recovery time of four to six months.
“I thought Cody had a partial pec tear earlier but it’s a complete tear, the recovery time for that is 4-6 months”
WrestlingNews.co reported that Rhodes was cleared because he couldn’t suffer more damage to his completely torn pec. They also added that a few spots were scrapped from the match: The report stated that Rhodes had the option not to compete, and WWE would’ve come up with an alternate plan. However, it was ‘The American Nightmare’ who insisted on wrestling anyway:
“Cody had the option to not do the match and WWE officials would have come up with an alternate plan but Cody was said to have insisted on going out there and the match went on as scheduled.”
We will now have to see what is next for ‘The American Nightmare.’
