Brock Lesnar wants to fight Cody Rhodes.
Lesnar has been feuding with Rhodes for a number of weeks; he attacked “The American Nightmare” on the April 3 episode of WWE RAW and went on to face him at WWE Backlash. There, Rhodes scored the upset win by countering an arm-bar into a pin.
On the May 8 episode of WWE RAW, Rhodes competed in a Triple Threat match that was part of the tournament for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. With a win, he would have advanced to the finals of the RAW side of the tournament. Instead, Brock Lesnar showed up out of nowhere and attacked Rhodes. He pulled “The American Nightmare” out of the ring and took him out. Finn Balor then pinned The Miz to win the bout.
After the bell, Lesnsr slammed Rhodes through the broadcast table with an F5. He then angrily told Rhodes that he wants to fight him at WWE Night of Champions.
Rhodes subsequently accepted the challenge during an interview on the May 8 episode of WWE RAW.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
