As reported earlier, Cody underwent surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, and the surgery was handled by the renowned Dr James Andrews, who has been a go-to surgeon for several wrestlers over the years. At first, he only suffered a slight tear of his right pectoral muscle while duking it out with Seth Rollins on Raw before Hell in a Cell. But he suffered a full tear of the muscle while training a few days later, which led to uncertainty over his availability for Hell in a Cell. Rhodes courageously fought with a noticeable bruise on his arm and chest and recorded his third consecutive win over Seth Rollins.

Cody Rhodes, when he returns may be coming into an entirely new landscape. John Cena would have made his return. Brock Lesnar might also come back by the time Rhodes makes his return. And then there is the spectre of Cody winning the big one, the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship from Roman Reigns. The options are many and WWE will have a good problem on their hands when Cody does make his return.
If the timeline for his recovery is 5 to 6 months, then Cody can make his return in time for the Royal Rumble. WWE could keep it simple by letting Rhodes win the Rumble and thereby go and challenge whoever is the champion by that time. Or they could go a different route and spice things up by letting Seth Rollins win the Royal Rumble and then adding Rhodes into the match later on and thereby making it a triple threat match. That would be the smart option as we have already seen Rhodes and Rollins fight each other three times. A triple threat match which includes Rollins, Reigns and Rhodes would be the best way to go ahead.
