WWE RAW: Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar at Backlash?
The American Nightmare has challenged the Beast Incarnate to a match at WWE Backlash. Following his defeat at WrestleMania 39, Rhodes appeared the following night and issued a tag-team challenge to Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
During the game, Cody’s mystery tag partner was Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar, however, delivered an F-5 to Cody before the start of their match.
Rhodes called out Brock Lesnar at this week’s RAW in response to the predicament. The American Nightmare declared he wanted to face Brock Lesnar in a match despite his fear of him. In light of this, Cody issued The Beast Incarnate a challenge to a wrestling bout at WWE Backlash.
