Cody Rhodes Was Told To Save Torn Pec Reveal For The Show At WWE Hell In A Cell
At WWE Hell in a Cell, Cody Rhodes entered the cell with a torn pectoral muscle. The injury was announced before the show, but Cody gutted through and still wrestled against Seth Rollins.
Rhodes covered up the injury with his American Nightmare ring jacket, making the big reveal as he was in the ring with Rollins. Rollins, and the crowd, were stunned when they saw the bruising on Cody’s chest.
Speaking to ComicBook, Cody discussed the big reveal.
“No one saw it, other than, I think Vince (McMahon) saw it. I was going to take my robe off for cameras, and the voice of God, whoever is head of production in that moment, I remember them saying, ‘Don’t.’ Stu, the camera operator, told me we were going to save it for the show. Very few people had actually seen it and how bad it was. Through the day, it was getting worse because there was so much blood, so much blood under my skin. I’m almost anemic, so if you chop me or squeeze me, you can see it instantly. Just the perfect person to have their body ripped in half for that moment,” he said.
Cody has undergone surgery for the injury, but it is unknown when he will return. You can find his comments regarding his progress by clicking here.
