As noted, Cody Rhodes worked a Hell in a Cell match on Sunday night against Seth Rollins with a completely torn pec.
Dr. Brian Sutterer has posted a new video on YouTube where he explained how Cody would be able to wrestle with the injury. He also explained how the injury can occur during training and how the bruising makes it easier to diagnose. A torn pectoral can go undiagnosed if there is no bruising.
Regarding how Rhodes was able to wrestle, Dr. Sutterer said that clearing Rhodes is a ‘tricky conversation’, but since the muscle is ruptured, he wouldn’t have made it worse by wrestling.
Rhodes might have risked injury to something else by trying to overcompensate, but since the injury happened recently, he wouldn’t have had the muscles stiffening up yet. He noted that it’s not necessarily reckless to clear Rhodes, but he wouldn’t have advised it.
