Brace yourself for all-out anarchy, as Cody Rhodes will once again lock horns with Brock Lesnar in a highly-anticipated rubber match at SummerSlam.
On the Raw after WrestleMania, Rhodes was suddenly ambushed by Brock Lesnar just before the two were set to join forces against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa in tag team action. The Beast brutalized Rhodes to a shocking and uncomfortable degree, obliterating him with steel chairs.
At WWE Backlash, The American Nightmare evened the score when he overcame The Beast in an explosive showdown. The following night, however, Brock again attacked Rhodes as The American Nightmare was competing in a tournament to crown the World Heavyweight Champion.
The Conquerer picked up a victory over Cody at WWE Night of Champions by applying the Kimura Lock on his opponent’s already broken arm and causing Rhodes to pass out from the pain.
With each competitor having defeated the other, Rhodes issued an open challenge for Lesnar to return and tangle with him anytime and anywhere. On the July 3 edition of Raw, Lesnar finally reemerged and kicked off an explosive brawl with Cody that ended with The American Nightmare hitting the Cody Cutter on The Beast and sending him out of the ring.
