Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes are currently sitting on an even score, having won a match each. This has facilitated the need of a final match, to decide the eventual winner with bragging rights. According to reports, WWE is planning a different kind of encounter between the two. Fans could witness something unique the next time these two superstars meet inside the squared circle.
When will Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes fight?
Lesnar was the first to taste defeat, at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico. Rhodes was able to cause the upset as The Beast Incarnate busted himself open. Just three weeks later, the 45-year-old Lesnar was able to equalize. At the Night of Champions, his hold led to an injured Cody Rhodes passing out. While the 45-year-old failed to make his opponent tap out, he was still able to get the win.

According to prominent wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, the third match could take place at SummerSlam. The WWE PLE is scheduled to take place on August 5 at Ford Field in Michigan. According to the Wrestling Observer, the Stamford-based promotion is planning a unique stipulation for the Lesnar vs Rhodes match.
“I have been told that it is gonna be something. It’s not just gonna be a straight match. They’ve got some sort of stip that allegedly we have not seen in a while and that means not Hell in a Cell. So I wonder what stip they might be coming up with for the third match between these two,” journalist Bryan Alvarez said during an edition of Wrestling Observer Live. [h/t: SEScoops]
Meanwhile, as per reports, a dog-collar match that was planned for the two were rejected. Though it is not clear who rejected the idea, fans are free to make their guesses. On the other hand, the American Nightmare hinted at a new feud with a new superstar on the last episode of RAW.
Cody Rhodes takes a subtle jab at Rey Mysterio, points at his mistake
While his rivalry with Brock Lesnar is far from over, Cody Rhodes seems to have picked up his next opponent in WWE. During the recent episode of RAW, the 37-year-old was invited to be a guest at Miz TV by its host The Miz. The 2-time WWE Champion surprised Rhodes by calling out Dominik Mysterio, who entered the ring with SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley.
After dealing with prolonged boos from the crowd, Mysterio told Rhodes that he was a ‘deadbeat dad’ like his own father, WWE legend Rey Mysterio, for not taking care of his toddler. Rhodes, who has recently been in good form with the mic, took a shot at the WWE Hall of Famer, to make his point.
