After taking a brutal beating at Night of Champions Cody Rhodes lost against Brock Lesnar. The American Nightmare didn’t tap out to the Kimura Lock, and the referee had to call it off after he passed out. This surely made the former two-time Intercontinental Champion look strong despite the loss, but the fans aren’t happy with it.

He’s basically the new Goldberg. No one wants him around anymore except Brock’s account of course.

WWE Universe is not happy with Brock Lesnar’s position in the company.
Cody took him to the limit with a Broken arm – The Beast is a joke now.
Can't believe this is the same guy who once broke the Undertaker's Streak

What comes next for Rhodes and Lesnar will be known on the next weeks RAW episode. After the scores are 1-1, it seems there might be another match.
Lesnar vs Rhodes 3?
The upcoming two PLEs for WWE are Money in the Bank from the UK and SummerSlam. Both are huge events for the company and Lesnar is a marquee star they will add on the card.
There might be a chance that WWE will book one more match between these two to end the feud. With the way match ended it doesn’t seems Lesnar was happy as Rhodes passed out, instead of tapping himself out of the Kimura Lock.
