WWE Hell in a Cell results

The drama surrounding the Hell in a Cell main event reached a new level before either man walked down the ramp. WWE announced just moments before the start of the event on Sunday that Cody Rhodes had suffered a partially torn right pectoral tendon during a brawl with Seth Rollins on Monday, then tore the tendon completely off the bone while weight training on Friday. But along with the announcement came an affirmation that Rhodes would indeed have the match and fight through the injury.

When he entered the Cell, the severity of the injury was immediately evident. The entire right side of Rhodes’ chest and his right arm were black and blue in grotesque fashion. Considering the injury, it suggested Rollins would be the likely victor, especially after two consecutive losses to Rhodes, but a one-armed Rhodes closed out the rivalry — for now — with a total of four Cross Rhodes finishers throughout the match. The final two were punctuated by a sledgehammer strike to the head for the win.

It’s amazing that Rhodes was not only able to compete with this kind of injury, but deliver another incredible match with Rollins. Of course, Rollins deserves plenty of credit, too. In a brilliant heel maneuver, Rollins donned black-and-yellow polka dot attire in a disrespectful shot to Rhodes’ legendary father, Dusty Rhodes, who sported that look in WWE in the early ’90s.

Rollins delivered a buckle bomb though a table and put himself through a table when Rhodes evaded a frog splash early on in the match. Midway through the action, an impromptu Bullrope Match broke out when Rhodes strapped it on his left hand and convinced Rollins to do the same.

Rhodes took a whip from the belt across his injured chest and even a boot. The first near fall of the match materialized after Rhodes reversed the pedigree and delivered Rollins’ former finishing maneuver himself….
