WWE is seemingly moving forward with a match between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar for WWE Backlash.
A couple of weeks back, Brock Lesnar came out as the mystery partner of Cody Rhodes at the start of WWE RAW in what many assumed would be the main event match against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. However, that match never even started.
Before the match could even start, the fans were left shocked with the developments. Cody Rhodes was ready to face Reigns but was not prepared when Lesnar suddenly hit him with the F5. This was followed by another as the beatdown continued. He threw Rhodes out and beat him up there, destroying him in the ringside area. He even put him through the commentary table with another F5.
PW Insider reports that Brock Lesnar was not on RAW this week, because he was on a family vacation. He will be on next week’s show, as WWE has already advertised. The Beast Incarnate will answer Cody Rhodes’ Backlash challenge.
It was further reported that the Brock Lesnar vs Cody Rhodes match is taking place at Backlash as a promotional deal with Puerto Rico. The event will serve as a promotion for the area, and even more marquee matches are expected to be announced.
WWE Backlash is set to take place on May 6 at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
