Brock Lesnar Gets His Revenge On Cody Rhodes At Night Of Champions

Publish date: 2024-05-09

Cody Rhodes picked up one of the biggest victories of his career at Backlash, sneaking a win against Brock Lesnar after busting The Beast open, leaving him thoroughly embarrassed. Lesnar naturally wasn't going to let that go, brutally attacking Rhodes days later and demanding a rematch at Night of Champions. The attacks continued between then and now, the last of which resulted in a broken arm for The American Nightmare.

Brock Lesnar Gets His Revenge

Rhodes insisted the match at Night of Champions go ahead, and despite battling one of the most dominant WWE Superstars of all time with one arm, Rhodes lasted a lot longer than you might expect. It was only a matter of time until Lesnar got his revenge, though. Applying the Kimura Lock on Rhodes' broken arm for a second time in the match, The American Nightmare passed out from the pain and Lesnar picked up the win.

Rhodes kept the match going for longer than most might have thought it would when he realized his cast could actually be used to his advantage. Clubbing Lesnar with it multiple times, there were moments when Rhodes looked like he might embarrass The Beast for a second time in two straight matches. It wasn't until Lesnar remembered he had the Kimura Lock in his arsenal that the tables turned for good.

Passed Out From The Pain

Even then, Rhodes refused to quit. Sitting in the submission for what felt like an eternity, Rhodes eventually broke out, but the damage was done. Once The Beast got the lock synched in for a second time, Rhodes couldn't handle the pain and passed out. The next time he saw Lesnar was walking away from the ring after the bell had rung. A spirited effort from him though considering, at least in storyline, his arm is broken.

Since the series between the two is now tied at one win each, we will likely see Rhodes and Lesnar clash for a third time. If the plan really is for Rhodes to eventually get to Reigns again, The American Nightmare really has to beat Lesnar if there is going to be a third match. If that happens at Money in the Bank, Lesnar will continue his streak of PLE matches which is already the longest it has been since 2003.
