Cody Rhodes Received Bad News in the Form of Brandi Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes Just Days Ahead of His SummerSlam Match Against Brock Lesnar

A significant day is approaching for WWE fans. SummerSlam is just days ahead. Anyone who has been following Cody Rhodes‘ recent feuds knows that it’s going to be an important event for The American Nightmare. This is because Rhodes will be taking Brock Lesnar head-on for the third time. The upcoming will match will settle the ‘draw score’ between the two rivals. But some things are looking grim for Rhodes.

Recent reports suggest that two of Rhodes’ support pillars, which could’ve potentially helped him in his upcoming match, won’t be there. Here, we are talking about Rhodes’ brother Dustin Rhodes and his wife Brandi Rhodes.

Is Cody Rhodes to face Brock Lesnar alone?

In an appearance on Busted Open’s episode in December 2022, Dustin Rhodes shared that his AEW contract is set to expire in July 2023. In the same podcast episode, he also revealed that he will dial down his in-ring appearances moving following the expiration. However, new reports from ‘Fightful Select‘, suggest that Dustin won’t be leaving the promotion before September 2024. This cuts out any predictions and speculations about him joining his brother’s side in WWE to help him in his WWE endeavors. With Brandi, however, the case is completely different.

The premiere of ‘American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes’ was a big day for the Royal Rumble Champion of 2023. He was present on the red carpet for the documentary launch along with the rest of his supporters, including his wife. When Chris Van Vliet was able to catch hold of her, he asked her about her potential return to in-ring action, similar to her role in AEW.

The answer from her end appeared ‘negative’ when she denied her future appearances as a wrestler. “It just was too hard, well not too hard, but just something that I just didn’t think would be the best for the family,” commented Brandi.

The Beast Incarnate and his present rival have faced each other a total of two times in the ring. The official score between the wrestlers is 1-1. Lesnar accepted Rhodes’ request for another rematch, which will take place at SummerSlam.

Things are looking rough for Cody Rhodes ever since reports started coming in about his brother and wife. It looks like neither of the two will prove helpful in Rhodes’ quest to settle the score with Brock Lesnar or win the WWE Championship in the near future.

Despite things appearing rough on the personal side of things, The American Nightmare is not letting anything affect his energy. At the documentary premiere’s red carpet, fans saw Rhodes carrying his ‘broken arm’ kayfabe in public. Not only did fans love to see a wrestler taking his professional storyline seriously, but it also indicates his dedication to the craft.

As reported earlier, Rhodes will face Lesnar at SummerSlam on August 6th. Now, all we have to do is wait and watch which one of the two gets to leave the night on a winning note. A win here might allow Rhodes to refocus on his story of winning the coveted WWE Championship.
