A “costochondral separation” is a separation of a rib from the cartilage that connects it to the breastbone. It leads to pain when breathing and can take about 1-3 months to heal. AEW says that Cody is “not cleared for in ring action at this time” and it appears that he may not be for at last a few weeks.
