A fact that we all know is that television has always had a large audience that consumes and values its contents on a regular basis, all over the world. This is what explains why professionals dedicated to it reach high levels of popularity at an international level. One of the best known names in this regard is Cody Rhodes. Born in Marietta, Georgia, on June 30, 1985, he is an American professional wrestler and actor who was the vice president of the professional wrestling company ‘All Elite Wrestling‘.
Precisely because of the relevance of his television and sports career is why, over the years, we have been receiving a lot of information about his professional life. However, we do not know so much about more specific aspects of this nature. For this reason, from Look At The Square we have compiled all the information you need to discover, in particular, what is the injury he suffered and that kept him unable to fight for six months.
This is Cody Rhodes
In order to delve into more intimate aspects of his life and talk about them, first it is important that we do a review of his early years. He was born with the name Cody Garret Runnels, but decided to change it to what today is his professional wrestling name. He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes and half-brother of Goldust, also a wrestler on the circuit.
As far as his academic background is concerned, Cody entered Lassister High School and completed his studies there. Since he was very young he began to show a great interest in sports. A little later he began studying at Pennsylvania State University. In turn, his father’s work had a great influence on the sports career he would pursue in the future.
Cody Rhodes’ professional career
This is how he discovered that wrestling was his vocation and that he wanted to dedicate the rest of his life to it. He has had a long career as an amateur wrestler and, after that, he became Georgia state champion twice. Following in the footsteps of his father and half-brother, he joined the WWE and began his stint as a professional.
It was then that he began to see his talent develop and take off. So much so that he even became champion six times in pairs with four different partners. Of those, he won three World Championships and three WWE Tag Team Championships. As of today, Rhodes is a married man and happy with his wife, Eden Stiles, whom he married in 2013.
What injury did Cody Rhodes suffer?
However, despite the success of his career on television and in the world of professional wrestling, there was something that not long ago got in the way of his career moving forward. Last year 2022, specifically at the beginning of April, the WWE witnessed one of its most acclaimed wrestlers return to the ring after six years without stepping into the ring.

His return was bittersweet. So much time without exposing your body to such physical demands takes its toll and in his case it was no different. The injury started with a large hematoma and everyone could already begin to expect the worst. It was in the pectoral and, after the doctors’ evaluation, they discovered that the muscle had completely detached and that “it could not be damaged anymore”.
After another long period of his body not allowing him to continue to pursue his passion, Cody returned to fighting when he felt fully recovered. After all the effort, it’s time to continue making history.
