- Cody Rhodes was taking questions on his Twitter today and one was from a fan asking about what surgery Rhodes needed. He responded his knee is "shot" and "shouldn't be walking on it." Rhodes has multiple meniscus tears that will require surgery, but he's expecting to be back to 100% once fully recovered. The injury happened back in November when he heard a "pop" while at ROH Global Wars: Buffalo. Yesterday, Rhodes lost the IWGP US Championship to Juice Robinson at Wrestle Kingdom 13.
#Pharaoh what surgery do you need?? Kinda missed this I think??

My knee is shot. I shouldn't be walking on it, multiple meniscus tears. Complex/horizontal.
But we have a great doctor and the scope has a short recovery time back to 100%. https://t.co/9j7Rj8JWHG
