Cody Rhodes Provides Pectoral Injury Update, Says He “Almost Hemorrhaged In The Surgery”

After a month on the shelf, Cody Rhodes is already looking ahead to his return to the ring.

Cody Rhodes tore his pectoral muscle completely off the bone and it required surgery. However, prior to going under for surgery, Rhodes wrestled a Hell In A Cell match with Seth Rollins despite the brutal looking injury.

Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Rhodes provided an update on his recovery.

“There’s a lot of people who have had knee injuries, back injuries, sometimes spinal and neck. When it comes to the titty, your pec, it’s a really strange injury. They tie that sucker back to your bicep. I had Dr. (Jeffrey) Dugas, he’s the best in the world to do it. The problem with him doing it is, he knows me, and they are being very coy. I was told the last time I was there for my check up, after PT [physical therapy], they are not going to give me a timeline just yet for when I’m going to be back because they are afraid that if they give me that timeline, I’m going to try and jump it by a month or two. The surgery was really…I almost hemorrhaged in the surgery because there was so much blood. People have seen the picture of it in the match. It was pretty gnarly,”

Cody has been more than vocal that he intends to jump his return date when he finds out when doctors expect him back in the ring, so this is not a surprising development in Cody’s recovery.
