Just over a month after his memorable WWE match despite a horror injury, Cody Rhodes reports that the surgery was also dramatic.
He pulled off a great match despite a visibly bad horror injury – and the surgery reportedly went dramatically as well.
A little over a month ago, WWE star Cody Rhodes competed in a match against Seth Rollins at the Hell in a Cell event despite having previously torn his pectoral muscle and suffered a violent internal bleed as a result.
The 37-year-old told Busted Open Radio: “I almost bled to death (hemorrhaged) during the operation, there was just so much blood. You could see the picture in the fight, it was pretty gnarly. “
The “American Nightmare” reports this surprisingly casually, so one cannot say with absolute certainty whether he was actually in mortal danger or is choosing the stylistic device of exaggeration. A documentary filmed by WWE should shed more light on that.
Doctors keep Cody Rhodes’ own comeback schedule from him
Another detail that raises eyebrows: Rhodes reports that doctors have purposely not given him an exact comeback timetable yet to protect him from himself. “They’re afraid that if I do that, I’ll try to get ahead of the schedule by a month or two,” he explained.
Cody Rhodes, son of legend Dusty Rhodes who died in 2015, had returned to WWE after six years at the WrestleMania mega-show in April. Earlier this year, he had left the league he co-founded, AEW, after failing to reach an agreement with its boss Tony Khan on a new contract – and was offered “an absurd amount of money” by WWE to make a comeback, according to WWE.
