So, I was watching the WWE the other day, and I saw this wrestler, Cody Rhodes. Dude’s a beast, right? But man, he was wrestling with a seriously messed up chest. I mean, his whole right pec was purple and swollen. It looked nasty.
I got curious, so I started digging around to figure out what happened to him. Turns out, he tore his pectoral muscle. Apparently, it happened while he was training, lifting weights and all that. I guess he pushed himself a little too hard.
First, I watched some videos online. A doctor, Brian something, was explaining how these kinds of injuries happen. Made sense, I guess. Wrestlers put their bodies through a lot.
Then I went down the rabbit hole of WWE news. They confirmed that my boy Cody had surgery and would be out for like, nine months. Nine months! Can you believe that? That’s a long time to be out of the ring.
- Cody tore his pec tendon.
- He had surgery to fix it.
- The usual recovery time is 6-9 months.
- He might come back sooner, but they’re aiming for the Royal Rumble.
Here’s what I pieced together:
After that, I found some interviews where Cody himself talked about it. He said he could have come back earlier, but they were being careful. Smart move, I think. No need to rush it and risk getting hurt again. I felt the same. They have a solid plan.
Man, it got me thinking about how tough these wrestlers are. They put their bodies on the line every time they step into the ring. I have a whole new respect for them now, not just for the performance, but for the pain they endure, too. What they put themselves through for the fans, unbelievable.
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into Cody Rhodes’ torn pec. It was an interesting little journey, and I learned a lot about the injury and the recovery process. Hope he heals up well and gets back to doing what he loves soon!
