Cody Rhodes Injury Update
WWE superstar Cody Rhodes has provided an update on his recovery. He admitted that it hasn’t been easy. Rhodes has been sidelined since June. “The American Nightmare” had surgery to repair a torn pectoral tendon. His most recent match was at Hell in a Cell, where he defeated Seth Rollins.
Rhodes responded to a question about his recovery in a recent Twitter post. In doing so, he made it clear that the process had not been smooth and easy. He wrote “It’s fn’ awful,” Rhodes admitted. “Everyday we dig into the muscle, then I scream, half the time I spot a tear flowing. It’s a near impossible task getting a body part that had been shredded to 100 percent … or hell even 90 percent. But on the worst of days. I have the best reason to not tap out.” With this post, he added a picture of him with his wife Brandi and their daughter.
WWE RAW
RAW is one of the two main brands of the World Wrestling Entertainment promotion. It was established on March 25, 2002. WWE divides its roster into brands. Each brand’s wrestlers must compete on a weekly basis. RAW wrestlers appear on the show Monday Night RAW, or simply RAW, every Monday. WWE briefly discontinued this brand from 2011 to 2016 before reintroducing it. When RAW returned in 2016, WWE owner Vince McMahon appointed Stephanie McMahon as commissioner.
RAW was born out of WWE’s (then WWF) brand extension process. Due to a large number of wrestlers under its brand, WWE was forced to split its roster. This happened when WWE bought out its two main rivals, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) (ECW). As a result, the WWE roster more than doubled, making it impossible to house all professional wrestlers under a single brand.
WWE Raw is home to some of the best and most successful WWE wrestlers. Some of those in its current roster are AJ Styles, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Alexa Bliss, and Becky Lynch.
