Cody Rhodes‘ rise to the top of the WWE ladder was halted due to a torn pec that he suffered before his Hell in a Cell match against Seth Rollins. The American Nightmare looked set to establish himself after yet another win over Rollins but his rise quest to climb to the top was stymied due to the injury.
WWE has announced that Cody will stay out of action for 9 months, which rules him out of many marquee events. From Royal Rumble to Survivor Series, here’s a look at marquee events that Cody Rhodes will miss due to a torn pec –

Money in the Bank 2022

Cody was booked as the face of the company since his return and he was the sole superstar featured in the advertisement for Money in the Bank 2022. He became the center of attraction on the updated poster for the event. Despite the injury, the former Intercontinental Champion teased appearing on the show but he will now sit out of action for long.

Clash at the Castle

Cody was among very few superstars on the poster for Clash at the Castle 2022. The premium event will mark WWE’s comeback to the UK after 30 years. The UK hasn’t hosted a premium live event since SummerSlam 1992. Cody looked set to be part of a marquee match at the event. But the fans in Cardiff won’t be able to watch him in action.

SummerSlam

SummerSlam is the Biggest Part of the Summer and can draw countless fans to the stadium as Wrestlemania does. Before the Clash at the Castle, Cody would have been in action in a stadium against another top-rated superstar at SummerSlam.

Survivor Series

Survivor Series is one of the top 4 premium live events of the year and Cody would have probably led Team Raw or would have been a part of a championship match. In his absence, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens and Rollins could be the frontrunners to lead the red brand later in the year.

Royal Rumble 2023

After it was confirmed that Cody was competing against Rollins with a torn pec, the fans expected him to make his return at Royal Rumble 2023, which is scheduled to take place in January. But since he is out of action for 9 months, the WWE Universe shouldn’t expect him to be one of the surprise entrants at the event.

Cody remains in line to be back at Wrestlemania 39 and he might once again face Rollins at the Show of the Shows.
