Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins once again rendered a classic at a premium Live Event. This time, Rhodes and Rollins clashed against each other in a Hell in a Cell match in the main event of WWE Hell in a Cell 2022.
Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins had control over the match as Rhodes struggled to use his right arm. Prior to the match, WWE had announced that Cody Rhodes had completely torn his right pectoral tendon.

The match was great but I feel as if Cody should’ve lost to Seth…..It would’ve made Cody look strong while still taking a loss now Seth just looks weak losing clean to someone whose this badly injured.
