Real Reason Why Brock Lesnar Agreed to Put Over Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam

At SummerSlam 2023 in Detroit, fans witnessed history being created as Cody Rhodes kept Brock Lesnar down for the three count. After a trifecta of Cross Rhodes, Lesnar would be tired enough to get up. And incurred a los in the process.

However, this raised several questions about the legitimacy of the finish. While Rhodes still kept getting up despite a brutal beat down, Lesnar tasted defeat by just suffering three Cross-Rhodes. While the matches always have a predetermined winner, it also recently came to the limelight, why Brock Lesnar agreed to put Rhodes over at SummerSlam.

What is the main reason behind Brock Lesnar putting over Cody Rhodes during their third battle?

The rubber match at Detroit saw an ultimate victor emerge out of their heated rivalry. But speculations would soon arise as to why would The Beast Incarnate be defeated with just three finishers. But, the outcome was then traced back to four months earlier.

Prior to WrestleMania 39, Brock Lesnar would sit down with Daniel Cormier for an interview, where he opened up on the business, giving everything to him, and him wanting to give back to the business. He said, “It’s time for me to start giving back to the business.” 

Since it is time for Cody Rhodes to finally finish his story, this was an effective way of having the finisher look strong. With the Cross-Rhodes being able to finish Lesnar, it became an extremely strong and protected finisher in the business.

Analyzing Lesnar’s words, we can decipher that The Beast is entering the twilight of his career. And is currently enjoying whatever he is doing and intends to develop upcoming and younger talent in the business.
