Cody Rhodes made a remarkable comeback to WWE at the WrestleMania 38 event. The second-generation superstar jumping ship from AEW to the Stamford-based promotion was quite surprising. He immediately went into a mouth-watering rivalry with Seth Rollins. The two would have blockbuster matches until Rhodes suffered a devastating injury.

He tore his pectoral muscle while training for his then-upcoming match against Rollins at Hell In A Cell. And now, ‘The American Nightmare’ has talked about his time on the sidelines in great detail.

He interacted with the Superstar Crossovers podcast recently. Rhodes gave all the credit for his comeback from the injury to his wife, Brandi Rhodes. He said, I wouldn’t even be able to have come back if Brandi had not made a very selfless decision {that} changed my life, It’s hard to even speak about {it} without getting emotional. Brandi deserves the WWE Championship almost more than I do.”

It took Rhodes almost seven and a half months to bounce back from the injury. Spending such a long time away can be a daunting task for any athlete.

It would have taken immense courage and support from family during the former AEW superstar’s recovery. And now he has made it clear that his wife needs to be majorly thanked for his recuperation.
