99.9% of people have never seen what happens after a tendon rupture so they were mortified.

I also think it would have benefited everyone involved to show the injury during the show and perhaps have a medical doctor there to explain the decision to let him compete. I loved the match but the first 10 minutes or so were really weird because the crowd was basically in stunned silence from seeing it for the first time. Maybe they wanted the wow factor but I'd rather allow the fans to know what it is and that he's at least somewhat okay to compete. I agree with this. It would have helped. Maybe I’m naive, but this company shut down Danielson, Edge, Christian and others for years. I truly believe there were enough folks backstage that medically thought he was ok to get through 20 minutes. Again, not condoning. Just seems to be most logical. In fairness, for people like them and Paige they harp on brain and neck injuries

Can anyone tell me that Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins inside the Cell for a chance to take on Roman for the Title wouldn't have been a worthy headline match?
There was only one place Cody should have been tonight - in Hospital.

Cody really looked at everyone backstage like "Nah guys I'm good, let's do this!"

Looking at it a bit further from Cody's POV. When he was last in WWE he was a midcarder and one with a comedy gimmick at that, even before Stardust he had a IC level ceiling.
He goes away and does all his adventures around the world and is probably happy in AEW but then circumstances suddenly change and he finds himself getting the right offer at the right time.
Cody knows being a success in another company means squat in Titan towers, look for how the announcers regularly were told to diminish Bryan's and other pre WWE achievements, how Roode and Joe hit ceilings on the main roster, how they didn't even try with EC3, the criminal waste of DDP ect, ect. AJ Styles is very much the exception here.
But he arrives and gets a WM moment and win, keeps his music and character, is yet to be pinned or submitted and most importantly for HIAC is in the main event and is all over the promotional stuff, main face on the poster ect. He is clearly telling himself that if he pulls out of HIAC, he goes back to being just another guy upon his return, maybe hes right, maybe hes wrong but that's what motivated him to do this, he clearly doesn't fancy spending 2023 as tag champs with Ziggler or Apollo.

Yeah I’m not sure boasting about a dude working with an obvious and gruesome looking injury is quite the flex that some people think it is.

I would not be surprised in the least if it is. Cody didn't just wrestle a match, he wrestled a 25 minute match and took multiple belt shots and steel stairs to his shoulder. If he didn't exacerbate the injury further, he's lucky.

If Cody ever gets half his body bitten off by a tyrannosaurus rex, you can bet your ass half of him will make the match Cody would be like

Also WWE is now potentially going months without Roman, Cody, and Sasha Banks might just be gone for good, and Randy's injury might be legit? He's gone too for now.
WWE's lining up for a very, very rough Summer. I have a feeling they were gonna be banking on Cody as a hard carry with Roman taking his vacation. Money in the Bank's gonna really need to go all out somehow.

The thing with the whole, “Maybe the doctors told him it can’t possible get worse” explanation that has been eating at me is…wouldn’t other muscles overcompensate for the torn pectoral? Like, presuming this is a pectoralis minor injury rather than a pectoralis major(if it was the latter apparently movement of the associated arm would have been a total no go), wouldn’t the major be working overtime to make up for the work load of the minor? Basically what I am trying to say is, while yes the existing injury likely may not have gotten any worse, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t at risk of injuring other muscles.

Considering recent history with announcements, can we not post memes that instantly provoke unnecessary cross brand flame wars even if it is to dunk on them? Thanks.

Props to Cody for toughing it out, but yikes I can't imagine the pain he must be in.
All the best to him.
