WWE.com has a new interview up with injured superstar Cody Rhodes. Here are some highlights of what Rhodes said about:<\/p>\n
The Extent of his Injury: “Well, honestly, the best way I\u2019ve heard the injury described, is that I dodged a bullet. The trap tear is a grade two (on a scale of one to three), but I don\u2019t need surgery \u2014 the tears will heal themselves over time with proper physical therapy. The separated shoulder is an old injury from amateur wrestling, and it\u2019s basically the area that could have been considerably worse. I could have landed on my neck, but I turned just in time to land on my shoulder. The separated shoulder is where the most pain is and it\u2019s the AC joint, but like I said, I dodged a bullet \u2014 no surgery.”<\/p>\n
His Initial Reaction To The Injury: “I thought I broke my arm, and I was in a very bad position in the ring. You know, ring awareness is something I\u2019ve always been fond of \u2014 having ring awareness, having mat awareness. Always knowing where I am at all times. Especially in a tag team situation, knowing if I\u2019m on my side of the ring. I wasn\u2019t. I was in enemy territory and Daniel Bryan had me wide open.”<\/p>\n
“Actually, everything after Kane dropped me, I don\u2019t remember. I remember hitting the mat one more time, and then I thought that I immediately tagged out, but watching back, there\u2019s a whole period of a minute, a minute-and-a-half, where I faked out Daniel Bryan, who missed a headbutt and I just laid there. I didn\u2019t know that \u2014 I thought I was much more cognizant than I was, but watching back I didn\u2019t know that I was on the apron, I didn\u2019t know that the doctor was tugging at my boots.”<\/p>\n
When He Will Return To The Ring: “I am a quick healer and I can fight through pain, but I will not rush my return to the ring. There is no hard timeline for my return.”<\/p>\n
