Cody Rhodes wants a rubber match against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
Rhodes issued the challenge Monday on Raw. He said that Lesnar was going to show up next week and hoped that he could end the chapter that Lesnar started for no reason. He said that he wants this match because the person who emerges from this match the winner will be next in line. Rhodes promised that he will be the one that is next in line.
Rhodes and Lesnar have been feuding since the night following WrestleMania, when Lesnar turned on Rhodes in a tag match where they were to team up against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. They first met at Backlash, where Rhodes was able to defeat Lesnar. In their second match at Night of Champions in May, Lesnar was able to win after Rhodes passed out following a kimura lock on Rhodes’ broken arm.
On the Raw that took place following Money in the Bank earlier this month, Lesnar made his latest return, targeting Rhodes again. The two got into a brawl, with Rhodes getting the upper hand.
Omos believes Brock Lesnar ‘has figured out this business down to the core.’
The 29-year-old from Lagos, Nigeria told the Daily Mail recently that his WrestleMania 39 opponent doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
Omos said of Lesnar:
“I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves. He’s such an amazing and talented worker. He has figured out this business to the core. From his facial expressions, to his physicality, to his selling. He gets it. Most importantly he understands his role depending on where he’s put. He has such awareness and that’s the person he is.”
Lesnar defeated Omos on the second night of WrestleMania 39 in a match that went just under five minutes.
Omos continued to say of Lesnar:
“Working with him, at first he was getting a feel for me and making me feel comfortable and he made sure I felt that way around WrestleMania. I remember having a conversation with him about how to prepare and he just said, ‘Don’t worry!'”
“‘For him, he wanted to see whether I could live up to expectations. Everything in life is a test and I knew I had to go out there and put everything I have learned into that match and I’m glad it came out the way it did.”
“Brock is amazing. He was pleased after. I wanted to make sure he had fun, that’s always my goal. When it’s fun, you want to keep on doing it.”
Omos recalled learning he was going to face Lesnar while backstage at the 2/20 WWE Raw from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
He continued:
“It was the night after Elimination Chamber and we had Raw in Ottawa. I wasn’t on the show and I was going to do what I was supposed to do, drive back to Montreal to fly home.”
“I was going to get a haircut and one of our producers said whatever you do, don’t go anywhere. I was on the show, but not a match, a backstage. They said it was a backstage with MVP and you guys are going to call out Brock.”
“The moment they said that I just go blank. They keep talking and I couldn’t hear a word they said. They asked if I was OK, I said, ‘Yes, did you just say Brock Lesnar?’ He said yes. I said, ‘No, THE Brock Lesnar? Woah, OK.'”
“I thought I was getting ribbed. So I go in and get there early and I see Paul Heyman. I say hi, he says Brock is coming and I know it’s real. This is happening.‘”
Omos hasn’t wrestled on WWE programming since losing to Seth Rollins at WWE Backlash from Puerto Rico on May 6. The match went just over 10 minutes and was given a three-star rating from our own Dave Meltzer. He has been wrestling regularly on house shows, however, against opponents such as Dolph Ziggler, Ricochet, and Rick Boogs.
As for Lesnar, he’s currently expected to face Cody Rhodes at WWE SummerSlam on August 5. The two are 1-1 against each other in singles matches, with Rhodes winning at Backlash and Lesnar coming out victorious at Night of Champions via referee stoppage.
A Cody Rhodes segment has been added to the lineup for the Monday, July 10 WWE Raw episode.
As announced during Friday’s SmackDown, Rhodes will deliver a “special message” to Lesnar on Raw. Lesnar returned to WWE television on the July 3 Raw and attacked Rhodes, but Rhodes sent Lesnar packing after hitting a Cody Cutter.
Lesnar vs. Rhodes III is slated for SummerSlam on Saturday, August 5, although the match has yet to be officially announced. Rhodes won the first meeting between the two at Backlash on May 6, then Lesnar got the victory in the rematch at Night of Champions on May 27.
Three matches and a face-to-face segment have already been announced for Raw.
The Miz will face Tommaso Ciampa in a NO DQ match, Becky Lynch will take on Zoey Stark, Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle will face Imperium’s Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser, plus Ricochet & Logan Paul will go face-to-face.
With Money in the Bank now over, the build to SummerSlam began on Raw last night.
That included Brock Lesnar making his return to resume his rivalry with Cody Rhodes. Rhodes interrupted World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at the start of the episode, but we never got to hear Rhodes’ reason for confronting Rollins. As soon as Rhodes started to speak, Lesnar’s music hit. Rhodes then rushed up the ramp to begin a brawl with Lesnar.
Lesnar got Rhodes in position for an F5 in the ring, but Rhodes managed to slip out and drop Lesnar with a Cody Cutter. Lesnar then bailed out of the ring and retreated.
Rhodes was interviewed later in the show and said there’s no way for him and Lesnar to coexist. Rhodes said he wants another shot at Lesnar — and he’s willing to fight Lesnar any night and every night.
Rhodes and Lesnar have a 1-1 record against each other. Rhodes won their first meeting at Backlash, then Lesnar evened things up at Night of Champions. The rubber match is expected to take place at SummerSlam.
Also on Raw: Dissension between Damian Priest and Finn Balor continued to grow, Shayna Baszler explained why she betrayed Ronda Rousey, and Ricochet challenged Logan Paul to meet him for a face-to-face confrontation next week.
Brock Lesnar is back, and his feud with Cody Rhodes is far from over.
Lesnar made his latest return Monday on Raw. Rhodes entered the ring to confront Seth Rollins when Lesnar’s music hit. Rhodes chose to exit the ring and attack Lesnar. He got the better of the brawl as Lesnar soon retreated. Later in the show, Rhodes did a promo where he said he wasn’t done with Lesnar, and would fight him any night and every night.
Rhodes and Lesnar have been feuding since the night after WrestleMania, when Lesnar turned on Rhodes as they were set to team up against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. The two had their first match at Backlash, which Rhodes won. In their second match at Night of Champions back in May, Lesnar won the match after Rhodes passed out from the kimura lock on his injured arm. Rhodes recently revealed his arm was healed in a match against Dominik Mysterio this past weekend at Money in the Bank.
Matches involving Roman Reigns, Ronda Rousey, Logan Paul, and Cody Rhodes are currently planned for next month’s WWE SummerSlam.
According to our Dave Meltzer, the following six matches are planned:
Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso
Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar
Trish Stratus vs. Becky Lynch
Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair
Gunther vs Drew McIntyre
Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler
Additionally, Logan Paul is expected to wrestle at SummerSlam. Meltzer wrote that the plan is for Paul to have an “in-ring showcase” but it’s not clear who he will be facing.
From Meltzer:
Logan Paul is on the show. As of yesterday, he was not planned to face LA Knight as the plan was to give him an opponent for a showcase in-ring match. Just coming off TV, I figured Knight made the most sense and nothing is official until it’s announced. That still leaves openings for people like Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn and probably Edge, who returns on Friday night in MSG.
Paul went shoulder-first through a set of tables during the men’s MITB match on Saturday. He and Ricochet struggled to complete a Spanish Fly to the floor after both got tangled in the ring ropes. They ended up landing on the tables at an awkward angle and Paul later posted photos of the injuries he sustained.
The 36th annual SummerSlam takes place on Saturday, August 5th at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. It is the first time the event has taken place in the city since 1993, which was headlined by Lex Luger vs. Yokozuna, The Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzalez, and Bret Hart vs. Jerry Lawler.
Hero’s pulled one of the biggest coups of this or any other year when Kazushi Sakuraba, the man who put Pride on the map, showed up doing an interview in the ring at its 5/3 show at the Tokyo National Gym, broadcast later that night in a two-hour prime time network special on Japan’s TBS.
After intermission, in a move that shocked virtually everyone as there were no hints of this ahead of time, Akira Maeda got in the ring and said he was going to introduce a newcomer to Hero’s. They showed a masked man and quickly went to a commercial break. They came back and Maeda was still building up and Sakuraba’s entrance music played and Maeda introduced the newcomer as Tiger Mask.
It’s somewhat well known that the original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama, was Sakuraba’s idol when he was in middle school. Everyone began chanting the name “Sakuraba,” immediately recognizing him from his blue jeans and yellow comedy T-shirt, plus, on the forehead of his Tiger Mask was a “KS.” When asked what his name was, he said, “Tiger Mask,” to laughs. Sakuraba said a few words, posed for photos. The TV announcers called him Tiger Mask, but said he looked like Sakuraba.
The next matchup between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar could have an added stipulation.
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that there’s been “a lot of talk” about adding a stipulation to Rhodes and Lesnar’s next match. One of the ideas being considered is a bullrope match, but that’s not official and there are multiple other ideas on the table.
A bullrope match is a type of strap match where the competitors are tied to each other by a bullrope.
Lesnar vs. Rhodes III will be one of the SummerSlam main events. There has been a lot of talk about adding a stipulation and one of the ideas is a bullrope match. That is not official and there are multiple other ideas for that match on the table, and no final decision has been made.
Rhodes defeated Lesnar when they faced off at Backlash, but Lesnar won their next meeting at Night of Champions. In storyline, Rhodes wrestled the second match with a broken arm after having been attacked by Lesnar. The finish of the bout was Rhodes passing out in a kimura.
SummerSlam is being held at Ford Field in Detroit on Saturday, August 5.
Wrestling Observer Live with Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive is back with tons to talk about including RAW and AEW previews for the week, more details on Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes III, tons of thoughts on New Japan Dominion, and tons more. A fun show as always so check it out~!
The date of Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar III has been revealed.
With their head-to-head series tied at one win a piece, the rubber match is currently planned for SummerSlam on Saturday, August 5. Our own Dave Meltzer revealed the news on Monday morning’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.
“Got big news. Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes is SummerSlam,” Meltzer said.
“SummerSlam, Ford Field. Match number three,” he continued.
Bryan Alvarez would later say on Wrestling Observer Live that the match will carry a stipulation that “we haven’t seen in a while.”
“It’s not just going to be a straight match,” Alvarez said. “They’ve got some sort of stip that allegedly we have not seen in a while. That to me, means not Hell in a Cell. So, I wonder what stip they might be coming up with for the third match between these two. I hope it’s not Ring of Fire, that’s one I don’t need to see again.
Rhodes won the first match between the two at WWE Backlash on May 6 in Puerto Rico. He would then go into their second match at Night of Champions with a storyline broken arm after an attack by Lesnar on Raw. The injury proved too much for Rhodes and he lost via referee stoppage after passing out while Lesnar had him locked in an arm bar.
WWE SummerSlam 2023 is set for Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday, August 5. According to WrestleTix, 40,231 tickets have been distributed to the event.

John LaRocca and I are back with a brand new Fight Game Podcast.
We kicked off the show talking about one thing we liked and disliked about both big shows from WWE and AEW last weekend.
We then went to our thumbs up/thumbs down segment talking about Kris Statlander and Jade Cargill as well as NXT Battleground and the CM Punk to AEW Collision announcement.
We then moved onto our big picture look at this past week’s AEW Dynamite, focusing on the following:
The fallout from Anarchy in the Arena
Don Callis’ promo and heat
Ricky Starks and what could be some fun stuff with Bullet Club Gold
How there was very little followup to MJF’s win
The mixed tag main event leaving the show a bit flat, much like Chris Jericho and Adam Cole did at Double or Nothing

Based on what we saw at Saturday’s WWE Night of Champions, the end of tThe Bloodline may be near.
Or, at least, they are making progress towards that.
Jimmy Uso was the latest to turn on undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, superkicking him after Reigns pie faced him during Reigns & Solo Sikoa’s challenge of WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.
The Usos had accidentally superkicked Sikoa after saving Reigns from Owens who was about to put Reigns through a table. Jey Uso was shocked by Jimmy Uso’s actions, but eventually left with his brother as Sikoa was pinned by Zayn. The show ended with the champions heckling Reigns, who sulked to the back.
The turn capped off what ended up being a pretty good show with everything delivering in terms of in-ring work. The main event in itself was probably the best match on the show in terms of drama. It’s good that The Bloodline storyline is finally going somewhere after weeks of teasing dissension.
What’s most interesting is that it’s playing into the longer storyline of Reigns and Cody Rhodes as Rhodes told Reigns that The Bloodline would fracture once he won the undisputed WWE Universal title. Even with Rhodes’ loss, it looks like that is happening regardless.
**********
Seth Rollins did capture the WWE World Heavyweight title, the bronze medal in WWE, after pinning AJ Styles. While it was a good match, perhaps very good, I don’t know if it was a great match. It was your usual classic main-event style WWE match with a strong emphasis on near falls and finishers.
I’m not sure what’s next for Rollins as I don’t feel like he’s in the position of being the strongest character on the brand (that goes to either Owens & Zayn or Rhodes). Maybe if they bring Drew McIntyre back as a heel, that may be another long-term storyline that could work.
**********
Rhodes lost his rematch against Brock Lesnar, passing out after a second kimura attempt after valiantly fighting the first. This was short, but fast-paced and also dramatic. Despite losing, they gave Rhodes a ton, using his titanium cast to give him an advantage despite “being injured.” Some people were upset by this loss, but unlike WrestleMania, I can see why they did this as they are building to a third match, perhaps either next month in London or at SummerSlam. Don’t fret, folks: the story continues and will for a long, long while.
**********
Asuka won the WWE Raw Women’s championship, defeating Bianca Belair in another good match. I think the most interesting part of this match is Belair losing the title, which she had held since last year’s SummerSlam. They had already gotten the line out that she was the longest-reigning Women’s champion of the modern era, so once she hit that, the title run became endangered. I don’t think this is the end of the feud, but we’ll see.
Rhea Ripley destroyed Natalya in seconds to retain the WWE SmackDown Women’s title. There’s not much to say about this as my best guess is a longer rematch, either on TV or the next pay-per-view.
Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus had their first-ever match….and it was good! Stratus can still have a good match at this point in her career and it helps a lot that she had this match with Lynch. The finish saw Stratus win after Zoey Stark attacked Lynch, allowing Stratus to hit the Stratusfaction. So, there’s clearly an alliance there and this feud must continue, which seems to the the theme from this show. We’ll likely see the blowoff at SummerSlam as the rumors had it a month or so ago.
WWE Intercontinental Gunther defeated Mustafa Ali. That was a given and for what they were given, it was fine. To me, it’s just weird WWE has a lot of these matches where someone lucks into a title match, then they go out of their way to tell you that these people have no chance of winning. They did it last month with Zelina Vega and now this. This was fine, but not to the level of recent high-profile Gunther matches.
**********
These shows are always going to be against the backdrop of WWE working with a country with flagrant human rights abuses that many people seem to look the other way on because of money and sports. It’s kinda hard to ignore when during every other segment, Michael Cole put over the rich history of Jeddah, which if you didn’t know, is also a modern cosmopolitan city. I do know this now because it was mentioned multiple times throughout this show.
Keep in mind this was the same country that tortured and imprisoned women as recently as 2018 for driving, and women wrestlers were not allowed to appear on the shows until two years into their deal. Not exactly cosmopolitan.
With that said, the wrestling on the show was good, even great at times, and the crowd was generally hot for everything at all the right moments. WWE television is middling at most, but to their credit their premium live events, or whatever you want to call them, have usually delivered, as was the case with Night of Champions.
On the heels of a well-received WrestleMania and an exciting trip to Puerto Rico for Backlash, WWE presents its first big Saudi Arabia show of the year with Night of Champions (1 PM Eastern on Peacock/WWE Network).
It will be the second straight pay-per-view/PLE with Roman Reigns not defending his undisputed Universal World titles. With his championships now more of an attraction, the revived World Heavyweight Championship will serve as something of the “workhouse” World title. Fans can expect it to be on the line more frequently, such as on Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
The problem is there isn’t much enthusiasm regarding the new title, and the word “secondary” has been tossed around quite a bit. Even the first match to crown the new champion doesn’t feel nearly as important as other matches on the show, such as Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar.
WWE has done all that it can to make Rhodes still feel like an underdog heading into Saturday. This is despite the fact that he just beat Lesnar a few weeks ago at Backlash. Having him go into Night of Champions injured, and injured in such a way that it reminds fans of Hell in a Cell last year, adds a significant level of intrigue to this rematch.
One of WWE’s hottest angles will not be included at Night of Champions. Other than Rhea Ripley defending against Natalya, no member of Judgment Day or The LWO is on the card. With what was essentially the Puerto Rican WrestleMania still fresh in everyone’s minds, perhaps the idea is to take some time to properly build the next matches in the storyline. It still feels like we could have Zelina Vega or Dominik Mysterio get wins on the show to build on their momentum, but WWE chose not to go that route.
Lesnar comes into this match as a -180 favorite over Rhodes (+130).
The angle on Raw this week with Lesnar breaking Rhodes’ arm, and Rhodes seemingly avoiding medical evaluation, is a nice addition to this story. At Backlash, the story was whether Rhodes could beat Lesnar. At Night of Champions, that shifts to can he beat Lesnar with a broken arm?
Rhodes with an injured arm will also conjure up images of Hell in a Cell last year in the minds of fans. It’s a reminder that he is the guy so dedicated and so passionate that he will face a seemingly insurmountable obstacle head-on. It’s the “he might lose the match but he’ll never stop fighting” type of story. It’s kind of cheesy, but Rhodes plays the role very well. Don’t you just want to root for the guy to finish his story?
The oddsmakers have this one about right. There is a better than 50/50 chance that Lesnar wins, but Rhodes getting the victory is entirely plausible as well. A Lesnar win leading to a stipulation match later this summer seems the most likely.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar
WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens defend against Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa
Zayn & Owens are -400 favorites to defeat Reigns & Sikoa (+250).
There are a few different possibilities for where this could go. One possible route is Reigns and Sikoa winning the titles and then moving into a program with The Usos. We know that’s coming eventually; it’s just not clear when.
Another possibility is the Usos somehow cost Reigns and Sikoa the match by accident. Perhaps they try to interfere and their plan goes awry in some manner. Reigns will be visibly disappointed, Paul Heyman will look very concerned, and the brewing inner conflict within Jey Uso will be evident on his face.
Still, a third possibility is that The Usos do a full babyface turn and cost Reigns and Sikoa the match. It seems too early for that, though.
I could be wrong, but I think Reigns and Sikoa win the titles here. Owens and Zayn never needed a long reign as their story was winning them at WrestleMania.
Winners: Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa win the titles
Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus
Lynch is a -350 favorite to beat Stratus (+225).
The winner of this match depends on how long Stratus plans on sticking around.
Lynch will win the blow-off to this angle, but it’s just not clear if that’s this match or not. Without being privy to Stratus’ summer plans, it’s tough to know. If she has agreed to perform through SummerSlam, I expect Stratus to win. If this is the last match before Stratus leaves again, Lynch will win.
Stratus as the legend who feels she doesn’t get the respect she deserves for paving the way seems to be clicking. Most storylines with a hint of truth to them do.
Winner: Trish Stratus
Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles to crown the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion
Rollins is a -1500 to defeat Styles (+600).
Well, Raw needs a champion. I guess if no one was going to beat Reigns for one of his belts, they had to simply make another title.
WWE had opportunities to make huge stars out of Drew McIntyre, Zayn and Rhodes at major events, but wasn’t willing to have any of them beat Reigns. It will be interesting to see what fans think about those decisions in ten years.
Regardless, neither Styles nor Rollins is going to beat Reigns any time soon, so now we have a secondary world title for guys like them. Rollins should win a great wrestling match.
Prediction: Seth Rollins wins the WWE World title
WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther defends against Mustafa Ali
Gunther is a -5000 favorite to defeat Ali (+1000).
Ali winning is not completely out of the question, but still very unlikely.
If Gunther is moving into the World title picture, WWE probably wants to get the Intercontinental title off of him first. When he does lose the belt, he will probably do so by slipping on a banana peel, or someone costing him the match in embarrassing fashion. He’ll lose, but we’ll all know he is actually still the far better wrestler.
The next champion will be an unlikely underdog babyface. Why can’t that be Ali?
His current gimmick has Vince McMahon written all over it. Part of me wonders if his performance of the “Positive Ali” character is being done with a hint of sarcasm to it. As if he knows it’s bad but, whatever, it’s his job.
I wish they would stop trying so hard with him, though Just let him be who he is. He is a very inspirational and passionate guy outside of the ring, and has a lot of similar qualities to Rhodes in that regard. He’s someone with a strong moral compass and a desire to do the right thing.
Regardless, Gunther is probably going to run right through him.
Prediction: Gunther retains
WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair defends against Asuka
Belair is a -400 favorite to defeat Asuka (+250).
It’s bothering me that they haven’t done the title exchange between the Raw and SmackDown Women’s champions yet. Am I alone in this? Why has this not happened yet?
There is reason to believe Asuka could win the title here, but I don’t think she is going to. WWE is making a lot out of Belair’s 400+ day reign and it doesn’t seem likely that it will end on Saturday.
If Asuka is to win the title, it would take some type of angle for it to happen. Maybe she’ll have developed a new and more poisonous mist or something. However, the most likely outcome is Belair winning a good match.
Prediction: Bianca Belair retains
WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley defends against Natalya
Ripley is a -10000 favorite to defeat Natalya (+1000).
When you don’t have anyone else to face your champion, just call Natalya. Fans won’t believe she’s much of a challenge, but there’s a good chance these two will have a decent match.
In storyline, Cody Rhodes is entering his match against Brock Lesnar at Night of Champions with a “broken arm.”
A storyline injury update on Rhodes’ condition was given at WWE’s pre-Night of Champions press conference in Saudi Arabia on Friday. It was claimed that Rhodes has a broken arm but will still be competing against Lesnar at Saturday’s pay-per-view.
The injury isn’t legitimate and is just part of the story for the Rhodes vs. Lesnar match.
There was an angle on Monday’s episode of Raw where Lesnar attacked Rhodes’ arm multiple times. That included putting it in a Kimura and refusing to let go. On the episode, Rhodes refused to be treated by medical personnel because he didn’t want to be declared ineligible to compete.
At the Night of Champions press conference, Paul “Triple H” Levesque addressed Rhodes competing at the PPV.
“Cody does have a broken arm, obviously,” Levesque said. “Not the best situation in the world. I don’t know if it’s the smartest decision in the world. But here’s the thing: Brock Lesnar wants to fight. Cody Rhodes wants to fight. Do you want to see them fight? Then tomorrow, in this dome, they are going to fight.”
Rhodes vs. Lesnar is a rematch from Backlash. In their first meeting, Rhodes escaped with a victory when he was able to counter a Kimura into a pin.
Night of Champions stream live on Peacock this Saturday (May 27) starting at 1 p.m. Eastern time. Here’s everything that’s been announced for the show:
World Heavyweight Championship tournament finals: Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn defend against Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa
