Cody Rhodes wrestled with an absolutely nasty torn pec muscle
Cody Rhodes won’t let anything stop him from performing.
Rhodes suffered a partially torn pectoral tendon during a match last week against Seth Rollins. The tendon then tore off the bone entirely while he was weightlifting.

“For the love of the game.”
Yes, Rhodes went all Kevin Costner on us. And he earned tremendous respect through his effort.
