Hours before the Hell in a Cell Premium Live Event, it was reported that Rhodes was in danger of missing the show. Cody had torn a pectoral tendon while lifting weights in the gym.

Eventually, Rhodes was able to put away the former WWE Universal Champion at Hell in a Cell, beating him after a series of Cross Rhodes. With the win, The American Nightmare went 3-0 over The Visionary after returning to WWE.

Rhodes's last two wins over Rollins were at WrestleMania and WrestleMania Backlash.

Reacting to his tweet, the WWE Universe reacted with tweets as such:
