Seth Rollins: It Felt Obvious To Me That Cody Rhodes Should Win Hell In A Cell Match After He Tore His Pec

At WWE Hell in a Cell 2022, Seth Rollins and cody Rhodes battles in a Hell in a Cell match that has become famous for Cody wrestling with a torn pec.

Cody revealed the injury to the audience when he took off his jacket and fans saw the bruising on his shoulder and chest.

Despite having a torn pec, Cody was victorious in the match.

Speaking to Julian Edelman on Games with Names, Rollins was asked if there were any thoughts that he should have won the match.

“In my head, I was hoping to get it back story-wise. I don’t know what the planned outcome of the match was before he hurt his pec. We hadn’t gotten that far. Usually, I just wait until the day of to understand what that’s going to be, and we take it from there. When he hurt his pec, at least to me, it felt obvious that he should win that match. That’s the best story. Even though he was going to be gone for nine months. ‘Do we give Seth the win because Cody is going to be gone?’ That’s oftentimes how it works. It just made sense from a story perspective. I was a heel, it wasn’t going to hurt me to lose at that point,” said Rollins.

Rollins did get his revenge on the WWE Raw after Hell in a Cell, attacking Rhodes and sidelining him for the remainder of the year.

Elsewhere during the interview, Rollins recalled his injury at WWE Crown Jewel 2025. You can find his comments here.
