Ekko's time rewinds dont rewind his physical injuries according to the champ teaser.

So when Mundo finally connected with his cleaver shouldnt that have killed Ekko even if he rewinded time right after?

no seriously though

In the teaser the Zaunite thug guy cracked Ekkos ribs and crushed his arm and he retained the injuries even after he rewinded.

How come he Mundos cleaver swing especially if it was with all his unholy might?

I think they said,that it actually heals his wounds,but that some phantom pain still remains,which is why he still looked hurt in the teaser after he traveled back.

Also it is possible that his Z-Drive works irregularly and/or has different time-manipulation methods,I mean in the teaser,the thug didn't know that Ekko was rewinding time,for him it looked like Ekko beat him on the first try,wheras Mundo actually witnessed Ekko resetting his physical state.

Ekko's time rewinds dont fully rewind his physical injuries.

If i recall correctly, it was said that Ekko's time rewind heals his injuries but retains the physical pain of the wound, meaning it is pretty stressfull on his body to continually rewind time. All of this meaning one injury, while still painful, is not that big deal, while multiple injuries can still take a toll on him even after rewinding time. At least that's how i understood it.
