Rhodes eventually defeated Lesnar by pinning him during a kimura lock. Although fans enjoyed the physicality of the match, the ending left them underwhelmed. However, the feud seems far from over, as Lesnar sat in despair in the ring, and Rhodes quickly fled from the scene. At Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, the two might collide again.
