In-Ring Segment: Cody Rhodes
Rhodes asks the crowd what they want to talk about. Usually he has a singluar focus. After last week, it all seems a bit cloudy. At WrestleMania 39, under the brightest lights, he lost. He lost to Roman Reigns. Rhodes says so many are trying to place blame but it should be place soley on him. He lost and he’s sorry. Rhodes notes that her heard Paul Heyman say that to get another chance at the title, Rhodes as to earn it. That discounts Rhodes’ entire story. Rhodes doesn’t have to earn it, he is it.
After all that, Rhodes pics himself up, and comes to Raw to demand a rematch for it all to end with Brock Lesnar attacking him. The question is why. Lesnar looks at everyone and thinks “victim.” Is that what he sees when he looks at Rhodes? Rhodes admits that he is scared of Brock Lesnar. He would be a fool not to be. But that means when Lesnar blinks, Rhodes will strike. When Lesnar looks in the mirrior, he’ll see a victim, Rhodes’ victim. Rhodes challenges Lesnar to a match at Backlash.
