It was said that Rhodes would be out of action for the rest of the year but due to a recent tweet, it has been speculated that he may return very soon. The Scotia Bank Arena in Canada announced that WWE would be returning to the Arena very soon on 22/8, while also highlighting Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins to be happening at the event.

“WWE Returns to Scotiabank Arena for the first time in over 3 years! See Cody Rhodes vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins on 08/22!”

The return of Cody Rhodes is not likely to be possible as the pectoral injury takes a maximum of nine months to recover. Even if Rhodes could be there, a confrontation between him and Rollins is improbable. Nevertheless, it would be lovely to see Rhodes at the event.
