Rhodes suffered the torn pec while weight training last week ahead of last Sunday’s Hell in a Cell bout against Seth Rollins. WWE stated on television that Rhodes had partially torn the tendon in a brawl with Rollins on last week’s Raw, with the complete tear coming during weight training.
Rhodes still performed at Hell in a Cell, defeating Rollins in the main event in a Hell in a Cell match. The following night on Raw, WWE shot an injury angle where Rollins attacked Rhodes with a sledgehammer.
No timetable has been stated as to an expected return to action for Rhodes, but various sports medicine sources indicate six to nine months as a general guideline.
