The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes was in the headlines hours before his main event at Hell in a Cell 2022. The American Nightmare, being a part of the main event and only eponymous match on the show against Seth Rollins, was revealed to have a torn tendon from weight training.

However, he still vowed to compete at Hell in a Cell despite the injury. As he made his entrance, he removed his jacket to show a major bruise.

Rhodes vs Rollins III was the marquee match for Hell in a Cell 2022. Following rumors that the second-generation star suffered a major injury, there was a scare that the main event would be in jeopardy. Rhodes vowed to compete anyway, and his injury would prove to be a crucial part of the storyline.

You can see a photo of the bruise in the following tweet. Around half an hour before the match began, Cody Rhodes tweeted his reason for wanting to continue despite his injury:

Cody Rhodes would live up to his word to deliver in the main event of Hell in a Cell 2022 and come away with a big win. The fallout from his injury will be seen and reported post-Hell in a Cell.
