Out of nowhere, Brock Lesnar offered to team up with The American Nightmare against The Tribal Chief and Solo Sikoa. Things looked to be trending upward for Rhodes. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case as The Beast Incarnate soon betrayed his teammate while slamming him with F5, suplexes, steel chairs, ring stairs, and whatnot. After this entire segment, Rhodes was all alone in the ring, screaming with pain, when the medical team rushed towards him. The Prince of Pro Wrestling completely denied going on a stretcher as a symbol of resistance.
Here’s what happened when #RAWAfterMania went off the air.
