WWE superstar Cody Rhodes is tough as hell.
Before Sunday’s WWE Hell In A Cell event, it was reported that Rhodes had suffered a serious injury lifting weights but would still work his match against Seth Rollins.
Via Dave Meltzer Wrestling Observer.
“Cody was injured lifting weights. From what I gather, it’s a pretty serious injury.
My impression is that he is working the match tonight with the injury and I guess will get it taken care of later. The injury is legit.”
Rhodes showed up to Sunday’s WWE event with a noticeably bruised pectoral muscle and fans were shocked that he was allowed to wrestle.
