Rhodes has confirmed the initial reports regarding Seth Rollins’ injury.
At Crown Jewel: Perth on October 11, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes faced World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for the Crown Jewel Championship. Rollins emerged victorious, although reports following the event suggested he sustained a shoulder injury during the match.
Appearing on ALL THE SMOKE, Rhodes confirmed that Rollins suffered the injury during their match at Crown Jewel and revealed that the former World Heavyweight Champion has since undergone surgery.
“Seth Rollins and I recently wrestled at Crown Jewel and Seth finally beat me. I’d beat him three times before. Nobody had sweeped him like that. But he tore his — I don’t know — I wanna say his rotator cuff. We don’t have an actual answer… But Seth I know has gone under the knife and got surgery so, at this point, real, not real, however you look at the industry, him and I aren’t good for each other. We don’t need to wrestle ever again. He’s lost a shoulder. That was the first major injury I ever had. But, I was glad to be in the ring with him that night. It was special.”
-Cody Rhodes
Rollins has since vacated the World Heavyweight Championship following The Vision’s shocking betrayal on October 13, with CM Punk going on to capture the vacant title at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1 against Jey Uso.
Elsewhere during the interview, Rhodes stated that he believes WWE have only scratched the surface with The Rock’s ‘Final Boss’ character. You can read more about that here.
