As of now, Rhodes will move to the rehabilitation after the successful surgery of his injury. As per the nature of the injury, Rhodes will take at least six months to recover before returning to in-ring action.

Can Rhodes pull off a surprise return as John Cena?

After watching ‘The Prodigal Son’ having a 20-minute plus match with an enormous bruise on his body, we can assume Rhodes would not sit quietly. He is most likely to make sure to return quickly. If he pulls a page out of Cena’s book and starts showing early success in rehabilitation, we can witness one greater moment from ‘The American Nightmare’.
