UPDATE: A new report has additional details on Cody Rhodes’ reported injury and WWE’s plans regarding it. PWInsider reports that the belief among those backstage that they’ve spoken to is that there is in fact an injury. Rhodes will be working tonight’s PPV against Seth Rollins and that WWE will evaluate the injury and work around it.

Rhodes’ Hell in a Cell match against Seth Rollins is set to main event tonight’s show.

ORIGINAL: Cody Rhodes is reportedly injured, though he is expected to work tonight’s WWE Hell in a Cell PPV. During last night’s WWE live event in Champaign, Illinois, Rhodes did not face Seth Rollins as expected and Rollins instead was put into the main event match between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, making it a three-way bout. Rhodes came out and chased Rollins to the back at the end of the match.

According to today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Rhodes was injured while weight training. Dave Meltzer noted that the injury is believed to be a torn pec and that the presumption is that he will work his match against Rollins at tonight’s show.

Rollins and Rhodes are booked for a Hell in a Cell match tonight; it is not known if there will be any changes to the card because of this. Meltzer noted that if Rhodes has surgery (which is usually the case), the timeframe for such recovery is typically seven to eight months. He noted that whatever they do end up doing tonight, Rhodes will be “probably working in incredible pain.”
