Cody Rhodes Shares Conversation With Vince McMahon About Infamous Hell In A Cell Match

WWE

Cody Rhodes has shared details of his chat with Vince McMahon ahead of his now infamous Hell in a Cell match in which he had a torn pectoral muscle.

Appearing on the Impaulsive Podcast hosted by fellow Royal Rumble headline maker, Logan Paul, Rhodes shared the details of the behind the scenes interactions around the match.

While Cody himself has been quoted in the past(on Rhodes to the Top no less!) that one will likely often wrestle hurt but should never wrestle injured, Cody’s pectoral muscle was completely torn from the bone.

Meaning, it technically wouldn’t get worse if he proceeded with the match, something he advocated for with Vince McMahon.

Rhodes said:

“I wasn’t going to have it any other way, I had to have the match at least. It was simple, it was completely torn, there was nothing else that could happen to it.”

“[Vince] knew I wasn’t going to take ‘no,’ I had a great conversation with him and he was really clear about, ‘Hey man, if you’re struggling out there, we’ve got to call it’.”

Throughout the match the referee checked in with Cody to see if he could continue with the match, with Rhodes explaining:

“I was just on Planet Z.

“I was in shock, you know shock puke where you feel like you’re going to vomit? Like, when you break a bone or whatever? I hit something up front and thought, nope, and I sat right up. And it looked like I sat up for the camera shot, but I sat right up because I thought, ‘Here it comes.’ “

Cody Rhodes made his return to WWE Raw on January 30 where he not only faced off against Finn Balor for the first time in WWE but also confirmed who he was challenging at WrestleMania 39.
