Cody Rhodes injury

Rhodes showed a gruesome injury before the match begun, which led to an immediate hush among the crowd in the Allstate Arena in Chicago. Rhodes went on to gut ...

“The presumption everyone had was he’s working Hell in a Cell tonight and from there we’ll see. Top AEW star Bryan Danielson, whom Punk mentioned in his emotional promo, reportedly suffered an injury. AEW must crown an interim AEW world heavyweight champion in the process. The gimmick initially helped boost Raw viewership before numbers settled back to normal against stiff competition from the NHL playoffs. WWE’s Kayla Braxton reported Rhodes had torn his pec “completely off the bone,” though was still expected to compete. I don’t know that 100 percent [if] that is the injury.

It appears Sunday's Hell in a Cell main event will go on as planned. Cody Rhodes is dealing with a partially torn The injury.

It's also the only match currently scheduled to take place inside Hell in a Cell. Listen to Ring Rust Radio for all of the hot wrestling topics. The United States championship and Raw women's title are the only belts on the line in Sunday's card, which puts an even greater onus on the Rhodes-Rollins match.

Rhodes is scheduled to face Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match in the main event of tonight's show and will still go through with working the match. If it ...

Since his surprise return at Wrestlemania 38, the “American Nightmare” has been positioned as the top male babyface in the entire company and was all over the advertisements for both Hell in a Cell and the Money in the Bank pay-per-view next month. Just hours before WWE’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in Rosemont, IL, tonight, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio has reported that Cody Rhodes suffered an apparent torn pec injury while weight training this week. Rhodes is scheduled to face Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match in the main event of tonight’s show and will still go through with working the match.

Rhodes and Rollins worked a legitimate injury into a remarkable display of pro-wrestling toughness.

Rhodes kicked a sledgehammer out of Rollins' hands, landed two consecutive Cross Rhodes and domed him with the sledgehammer to win the match. Rhodes and Rollins had a hall pass to take things easy with the severity of Rhodes' injury. A throwback to stipulations in the era of Dusty, Rhodes and Rollins abused each other with the rope and cowbell while both were tied in. The polka dots and bull rope were a welcomed addition to the match. Rollins landed the Cross Rhodes on the fan-favorite only for Rhodes to return fire with the same move.

Rollins landed the Cross Rhodes on the fan-favorite only for Rhodes to return fire with the same move. Rhodes and Rollins closed out Hell in a Cell with a banger, but credit also goes to the three women who opened the program. Balor countered Edge's spear and had him laid out for a fight-ending Coup de Gras. Ripley stood in between Balor and Edge long enough for her Judgement Day leader to crush Balor with a spear for the victory.

It had to be too, since this was close to a one-match show. Bianca Belair retained her Raw Women's Championship in the opening bout, defeating Asuka and Becky ...

Lynch then hit a Manhandle Slam on Asuka, but Belair came back in and chucked Lynch out of the ring before pinning Asuka for the win. As they battled, Lynch managed to plant Belair with a Manhandle Slam, but Asuka interrupted the pin for a great false finish. As Omos was preparing to give Lashley a double-arm Chokeslam, Cedric Alexander, who's had tension with MVP and Omos, jumped in the ring from the top rope. The finishing sequence began when Lashley was in the ring with MVP. Lashley knocked Omos off the ring apron, then speared MVP. Lashley went for a pin, but Omos broke it up. Edge tried another Spear on Balor, but Balor countered it into an Inside Crade (which was sick). Balor landed a Slingblade on Edge and attempted another Coup de Grace, but Ripley stood in front of Edge, which prevented Balor from the move since the men can't touch the women in the match. From there it was an extended heat session, with the Judgement Day beating down Liv Morgan and then Finn Balor as the good guys built to a comeback. Rollins then kicked Rhodes in the gut and attempted a Pedigree, but Rhodes slipped out and landed a Pedigree of his own for another nearfall. It was largely built around a steel chair, which Corbin and Moss whaled on each other with, but didn't give the crowd what they were chanting for the whole match -- tables. Rollins hit Rhodes with a Superkick and then Powerbombed Rhodes through the table for a two count. Rhodes then brought out a cowbell, a weapon synonymous with his dad Dusty. The cowbell is in the middle of a long rope, with handles on either side for each person to strap around their wrist. Rollins attempted a Frog Splash through the table, but Cody rolled off and Rollins crashed through alone. Between the opener and the closer, though, was a lot of fluff.
