Cody Rhodes went down with a torn pec injury last year and his wife, Brandi Rhodes, has now revealed her initial reaction to her husband’s injury.
Speaking on a recent edition of Chris Van Vliet’s “Insight” podcast, Brandi opened up about her initial reaction to Cody telling her about the injury, why she wanted him to work the Hell in a Cell match despite the injury, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her initial reaction to Cody telling her about the injury: “It’s so disappointing on my part because he called and he said to me, ‘Don’t panic.’ And immediately I thought, ‘The baby fell. Something happened their at the hospital.’ So I went, ‘Oh my god, what what what what what? Just tell me.’ And he goes, ‘I think I tore my pec.’ And I said, ‘Oh thank god. You’ll be fine. The baby, though.’ But then of course I was like, ‘Did you really, are you sure?’ And yeah, he had torn it.”
On Cody deciding to work the Hell in a Cell match: “I was that person that wanted him to. And I did check with Doc Eamon to make sure that I was giving sound advice. And I was like, ‘Well if nothing really worse can come of the situation if you feel okay with it, then I’m giving my blessing too.’ I was a performer, so I know the feeling. If you can, you want to make it happen, and those people are counting on you. People bought tickets for the show, to see the main event with Cody and Seth. So yeah, if you can do it, do it.’”
