Cody Rhodes

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: WWE's Cody Rhodes competed with an horrific pectoral injury in his Hell in a Cell match against Seth Rollins in Chicago last night ...

He then went on to secure the unlikeliest of victories by pinning Rollins in the middle of the ring. But Rhodes dug deep and was able to turn the tables, and made use of a sledgehammer that came into play. The entire right side of his chest and right bicep was completely swollen as he slightly tore the pectoral muscle during his brawl with Rollins on Monday Night Raw a week before their fight.

Before the match, WWE announced Rhodes suffered a torn pectoral muscle injury last Monday and made the injury worse while he was training for the match. He ...

He addressed the crowd at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, after the TV cameras were turned off. When the "American Nightmare" came to the ring and took off his jacket, fans saw the badly bruised right shoulder. He still managed to step into the ring against Rollins.

The Hell in a Cell clash between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at Sunday's WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event was easily the most anticipated match on the ...

However, that doesn't mean it can't still happen one of these weeks to write Rhodes off Raw for the time being. If that was the case, then Rhodes would make more sense than anyone to be the one who Edge targets upon Rhodes' return. Owens just wrapped up his rivalry with Ezekiel (beating him at Hell in a Cell) and will need a new foe for the summer. Owens shared the ring with Rhodes several times in 2016, but that was of course long before Rhodes evolved into the elite athlete he is today. Visit his website, WrestleRant, and subscribe to his YouTube channel for more wrestling-related content. Rhodes can come out on Monday's Raw and boast about beating Rollins with a fully-torn pectoral muscle when he's viciously attacked by Judgement Day out of nowhere. Rhodes for later down the line. The Undisputed WWE Universal Championship is what he should be gunning for, but a quick detour in the U.S. title picture wouldn't hurt. Now that he's decisively defeated Rollins on three separate occasions, it would only make sense for the top title to be in his sights sooner rather than later. Besides, Rhodes and Theory have unfinished business that should ultimately be revisited. Interestingly, in his first decade on WWE's main roster, Rhodes never held the United States title. What's smart is that they didn't immediately jump into his chase for the championship.

After his victory over Seth Rollins in the main event, Rhodes cut a promo that wasn't shown on the live broadcast. He said the decision to perform while injured ...

"You guys have believed in me and you didn't have to. No one convinced me with a torn pec to come out here. He said the decision to perform while injured was solely his call.

We've taken a look at the women's Money in the Bank match, now it's the turn of which Superstars will be part of the men's Money in the Bank match next ...

If The Bloodline want to protect their head of the table, sending in their honouree member into the Money in the Bank match could be a fun story to tell. Spinning his wheels somewhat on SmackDown as WWE hold off on Drew until September’s Clash at the Castle, having him part of the Money in the Bank match would at least give The Scottish Warrior something to chew on. Therefore, would Cody winning the Money in the Bank match and literally naming the time and place to challenge Roman Reigns be the most Rhodes-like thing to do right now. Injury depending, Cody will be part of Money in the Bank and the obvious place is as one of the favourites for the Money in the Bank match. Owens may still be in the midst of his uncovering of Ezekiel, but with a win over him at Hell in a Cell, WWE would be wise to shift gears and get the WrestleMania main eventer back into the title picture. A Money in the Bank win is one of the very few things missing from Styles’ WWE CV and although he’d be an unlikely winner at this stage, the mere tease of having him back in the title picture would cause enough excitement.

Cody Rhodes spoke to the fans following his match a Sunday night and said he'd share more on Monday's Raw.

It's likely he starts Raw on Monday and cuts a promo to address his situation. Fans weren't sure what to make of his decision to wrestle. Saying he was the person who made the decision alone, he said 10 times out of 10 he would make that decision again.

Cody Rhodes, whether you agree with his decision to wrestle injured or not, delivered a show of resilience and fortitude that will be talked about forever.

It feels like Edge has added to his Hall of Fame list of accomplishments by being the first in a long time to figure out that having a woman in your faction that the guys are not allowed to hit by WWE rules can help you win matches. It will be interesting to see what WWE does next with the Judgment Day because, unlike AEW, there are not a ton of factions – if any – for them to feud with. Theory won clean and Ali being a strong babyface only helped add to the crowd’s distain for him, so mission accomplished. Also it feels like WWE needs to cash in on how much Liv Morgan has improved other than her being the third wheel and losing – though his short stink with Balor and Styles did her some good. Bob Lashley may be in the best position to take over as Monday Night Raw’s top babyface with Rhodes likely to miss significant time and he may do so with at least Cedric Alexander by his side. All three of these women are over with the crowd and Asuka’s striking and style brought a refreshing element to what we have already seen from Lynch and Belair. The finish had Lynch hit a Manhandle slam on Asuka but Belair – who Becky has just tossed out of the ring — came back and pulled Lynch off to score the pin and retain the title. I hear the portion of fans that will say he shouldn’t have been out there and how could you have Rhodes with that serious of an injury earn a clean win over Seth Rollins – who continued his wardrobe savagery dressing in Dusty Rhodes polka dots? Was it uncomfortable to watch Rhodes take bumps at times and deliver those Cross-Rhodes? Yes. But Rhodes has always said, “Do the work” and tweeted for “the love of the game” prior to the match. He smartly waited until the very last moment to remove his jacket and got a dramatic gasp from the crowd when they saw his injury. And that’s exactly what they did, using keno sticks, sledge hammers, tables and bull ropes – a Rhodes family specialty — to write the final chapter. While Hell in a Cell lacked a game-changing moment or surprise that would have taken it to another level, it was a pay-per-view filled with some superb wrestling that’s starting become a pleasant regular occurrence for WWE.

In a heartbreaking update, it has emerged that Cody Rhodes will undergo surgery this week and be out of action for up to six months.

You can check that out by clicking right here. We’ve learned that as of this morning, Cody Rhodes is slated to undergo surgery to repair the torn pectoral muscle this Thursday. WWE announced before Hell in a Cell last night that Cody Rhodes had completely torn his right pectoral muscle earlier in the week.

A major development on the Cody Rhodes, injury front. Rhodes is reportedly set for surgery, later this week.

Following the show, Rhodes addressed the fans in attendance letting them know it was his decision to wrestle and that he would give a further update on his injury tonight on “WWE Raw.” Cody Rhodes could be facing a lengthy layoff from the ring following his impressive Hell In A Cell performance due to his recent injury. While that sounded bad, fans did not truly grasp the extent of the injury until just before the match when Rhodes took off his entrance jacket and revealed massive bruising on the right side of his chest.

Cody Rhodes delivered a promo to give reasoning behind his decision to take on Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell, despite having a grim injury.

After trading Cross Rhodes, a clearly in pain Cody Rhodes closed out the pair’s trilogy by taking his third-straight win over Seth Rollins. Ten times out of ten, I would have made the same decision.” No one convinced me, with a torn pec, to come out here. A regular occurrence in the NFL, torn pectoral muscles usually spell significant time on the sidelines. The ‘American Nightmare’ took on Seth Rollins for a third time, looking to keep up his unbeaten streak. As a result, recovery times vary; a simple tear with surgery can see a return in 3-4 months.

CM Punk, who had just beaten Adam Page for the AEW championship May 29, suffered an undisclosed injury on the June 1 show at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

Wednesday's episode of Dynamite in Independence, Mo., will open with a battle royal, with the winner of that match going on to face Jon Moxley in the show’s main event. Danielson, who has formed a tag team with Moxley, would have been among the favorites if he would be able to be in the Battle Royal. Scorpio Sky, the TNT champion, noted a muscle injury in his right leg early in his match with Dante Martin on Friday led to the leg being almost useless in the match. It is too early to know when Punk would be able to return, as he’s not had the surgery, but the hope is it would be before the end of the year. WWE’s event also topped a $1 million gate on Sunday with more than 12,000 paid, and the Rhodes vs. In fact, it was the highest attended television taping show in pro wrestling in the U.S. this year. Forbidden Door will likely top both of those shows for paid attendance, as it was also a sellout just minutes after tickets were put on sale. But as much as that match will be etched in the memories of everyone who saw it, Sunday’s match is likely to be similarly remembered. Then again, it hardly made sense to wrestle more than 24 minutes on a completely torn pec while in what had to be incredible pain with his entire right side of his chest and much of his right arm badly bruised. It’s hard to call this the greatest match of Rhodes’s career, as his 2019 match with older brother Dustin was uniquely emotional. The decision was made by owner Tony Khan not to have Punk vacate the title. For Punk, his injury led to the creation of an AEW interim championship. At the start of Sunday’s pay-per-view, WWE did announce the injury, claiming Rhodes had a partial tear from a brawl on Raw with Rollins on Monday, and then tore the muscle completely off the bone while lifting weights late in the week.

Cody Rhodes, with a complete tear of the right pectoral tendon, addressed the crowd after last night's win over Seth Rollins at WWE Hell In a Cell. As.

Below is post-show footage of Rhodes speaking to the crowd, along with official WWE clips from the match: Rhodes said he likely will explain things further on tonight’s RAW, but he assured everyone that it was his decision to wrestle the match, despite the injury. Rhodes ended up working a near-25-minute Hell In a Cell match with Rollins, picking up the win. Hell In a Cell went off the air with Rhodes raising his fist in the air and yelling out to the crowd. WWE then announced on the Hell In a Cell Kickoff pre-show that Rhodes was injured. It was then reported on Sunday afternoon that Rhodes would still work the Hell In a Cell match.

Cody Rhodes put his body on the line against Seth Rollins at WWE Hell In A Cell and it reportedly left colleagues more than impressed.

The color progressively got more red as the match went on and the injury played a major factor in the way the match was structured. A yellow polka-dotted Rollins sought to attack Rhodes’ injury early on by striking it with a kendo stick. Rollins III elicited a similar reaction online with colleagues and luminaries alike as the right side of Rhodes’ chest and upper arm was a deep reddish-purple.

WWE Raw star Cody Rhodes insists wrestling with brutal injury at Hell In A Cell was 'solely his decision' after suffering a torn pectoral.

Ten times out of ten, I would have made the same decision.’ No one convinced me, with a torn pec, to come out here. ‘I’m sure I’m gonna explain things a little further tomorrow, I’ll be very brief.

After working through the injury at Hell in a Cell, Cody Rhodes is set to undergo surgery for his torn pectoral tendon. F4WOnline has confirmed that Rhodes ...

The finish of the Hell in a Cell match saw Rhodes pin Rollins after giving him a sledgehammer shot. Rhodes suffered the injury while weight training in advance of his Hell in a Cell match against Seth Rollins. Rhodes still worked Sunday night's pay-per-view, defeating Rollins in the main event. Rhodes wrestled despite having a huge bruise on his chest and arm from the injury:

Hell in a Cell match was legendary, but a little too dangerous for comfort.

In another, it isn’t that much of an extension of what he’d been doing that saw him slide out of AEW and back to WWE. Cody needs to be proving himself time and time again no matter the cost. Instead, Rolllins has now lost to Cody three straight times on PLEs, including when he only had one arm, and all the buzz and heat and appreciation for Cody was just in time for him to go on the shelf for up to half a year. In that sense, it’s sad that the reward for Cody’s last act of trying to prove what he is will only be followed by an extended absence. When Cody was tumbling away from the top of the AEW card and out of more and more fans’ affections, it was in the midst of his refusal to be a heel while doing all of the heel things. It’s Cody screaming for everyone to pay attention to how much this means to him and how much he loves wrestling and how badly he needs it, when it kind of feels like he just can’t stand the thought of not being the center of attention. Last night felt like him trying to lock down a place in the company that he locked down the moment he showed up at WrestleMania. Which makes the booking even stranger, because no matter what, Rhodes is going to be gone for a while now after surgery. It’s Rich Hill in his 40s screaming and yelling to show everyone in the stadium just how much he cares for the sake of showing everyone how much he cares. Which is weird, because he has been the center of attention since returning to New York. With Roman Reigns on an extended break, Rhodes is one of the biggest draws in the company right now. It would have been sensible for Rollins to go over with Rhodes out of the picture for a long time. This is what caused enough fans in AEW to turn on Rhodes even though he wouldn’t turn on them, the constant “Everyone should be saying, ‘Where’s Cody?’” booking that he put himself through when fans wanted to see others playing a more prominent role. It seemed inconceivable that the match would go on when word of his injury started to spread over Twitter in the afternoon, even less so when the details emerged. Whether Rhodes could have hurt something else compensating for what he didn’t have is up to him and how he handles it, and there hasn’t been any report that he did.

WWE will likely give a more concrete timetable once Rhodes undergoes the procedure. Recent wrestling history would give a rough timeline of 4-6 months, though ...

His arrival also came as a much-needed boost to the WWE roster, which has struggled in finding babyface talent that stays over with the crowd for an extended period. WWE will likely give a more concrete timetable once Rhodes undergoes the procedure. The American Nightmare battled through the gruesome injury to defeat Seth Rollins inside Hell in a Cell on Sunday, but he's expected to miss several months of action.

On the 6/6 episode of Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes addressed his future following his innury but was attacked by Seth Rollins.

#WWERaw The full extent of the injury wouldn’t be known until just hours before Rhodes and Rollins were set to square off at Hell In A Cell, WWE confirmed Rhodes completely tore his pectoral muscle off the bone, earlier in the week. Rollins would go as far as to hit his patented curb stomp onto Rhodes’ injured shoulder and chest area before unloading a shot with a sledgehammer onto the heavily bruised pectoral of ‘The American Nightmare’. “I still don’t like you but what you put yourself through last night, you earned my respect. I’m officially done with Seth Rollins.” While he enjoyed sharing the ring with the former WWE Champion, he’s putting ‘The Visionary’ in the rear-view mirror.

Just when you thought it was possible to earn respect in a wrestling ring, Seth Rollins went and showed that respect is a four-letter word.

But then, as Cody walked up the ramp, Rollins came charging out of the back and blindsided Rhodes with a sledgehammer, putting the American Nightmare down. If he's just coming out and cackling next week, you'll know they had no real plan for this when it happened. Cody Rhodes gutted out an incredible Hell in a Cell match Sunday night with torn pectoral, giving fans an instantly iconic image when removing his jacket.
