WWE announced this week that Cody Rhodes would return to in-ring competition at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on January 28 by competing in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match.
Rhodes underwent surgery on a completely torn pec muscle last summer. As noted, WWE announced the news because they knew fans were expecting him to be in the match and the company was more than pleased with the surprises they have lined up for the show.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Rhodes wasn’t cleared when the announcement was made.
He’s still expected to work the match and has been training for his in-ring return at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL with Carmelo Hayes and Joe Gacy.
