Top WWE Star and former AEW Star "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes suffered a brutal torn pectoral injury prior to the WWE's Hell In A Cell Premium Live Event last June 5, but still managed to compete on the show and even defeat Seth "Freakin" Rollins in a Hell In A Cell Match. Seth Rollins would then brutally attack Cody Rhodes the next night on WWE RAW and shortly after, The American Nightmare would have a major surgery and it was announced that he would be out of in-ring action for nine months.
Fightful Select reports that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is doing huge numbers for WWE while he is on the shelf with an injury. According to the report, the recently announced Cody Rhodes Mattel Creations Ultimate Edition action figure sold “incredibly well, very quickly.” Fightful also reported that Cody Rhodes' action figure is one of the highest pre-order totals the WWE has had since they and Mattel began their relationship years ago.
