Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Brock Lesnar raised Cody Rhodes arm, shook his hand and hugged after losing at WWE SummerSlam 2023.Â
Cody Rhodes beat Brock Lesnar in their rubber match with three consecutive Cross Rhodes.
Rhodes took a massive beating from Brock Lesnar amid a barrage of suplexes to open the match. The tides turned when Rhodes found an advantage and evened the odds with help from an exposed turnbuckle. Both Lesnar and Rhodes used Kimura Locks at points in this match. After Rhodes’ victory, Lesnar shook Cody’s hands, gave him a bear hug and raised his hand out of respect.
The latest leg of Cody Rhodes’ adversity tour took him through Hurricane Brock, where Lesnar utterly dominated their brawls on television. In addition to (kayfabe) breaking Rhodes’ arm, Lesnar laid Rhodes out in front of his family in Atlanta, Ga., while also getting the better of Rhodes this past Monday on Raw.
Rhodes eventually did mount a comeback, exposing a turnbuckle and later hit Lesnar with the steel steps, despite the match never being officially declared a No Disqualification match. Lesnar was able to get him into the Kimura Lock in the center of the ring, but Rhodes got to the ropes and eventually locked in a Kimura Lock of his own. Then, in a final rallying effort, Rhodes countered another F5 from Lesnar, hitting multiple Cross Rhodes maneuvers. After the third Cross Rhodes, Rhodes pinned Lesnar for the three count and the victory. After the match, in a sign of respect, the men butted heads and embraced, with Lesnar raising Rhodes’ arm multiple times in the ring.
