WWE Backlash 2023: Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar Preview
Before his big match with WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes was on a high after winning the Royal Rumble Match.
The dream, however, changed into a nightmare between WrestleMania and the episode of Raw the following night. In addition to losing controversially to Reigns in the WrestleMania main event, Rhodes was unexpectedly ambushed by ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar just before the two were about to engage in a tag team match against Reigns and Solo Sikoa on Raw.
As the Raw After WrestleMania drew to a stunning finish, The Beast brutalized Rhodes to an unsettling and disturbing degree, destroying him with steel chairs and the ring steps. Since then, Cody Rhodes has been trying to get Brock Lesnar to agree to a match at WWE Backlash 2023, and The Beast finally accepted Rhodes’ challenge on the April 17 episode of Raw.
Backlash 2023 prediction: Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar
Cody Rhodes’ newly discovered feud with Brock Lesnar, expected to begin at Backlash, should lay the groundwork for his journey to and beyond WWE SummerSlam 2023.
The most probable, if not ideal, is Brock Lesnar defeating Rhodes to promote the illusion that the latter is overcoming hardship. A non-finish is the only way to prevent Rhodes from losing twice in a row on consecutive pay-per-view events because doing so would be absurd.
The referee may ring the bell after seeing too much bloodshed, or Brock Lesnar may give Cody Rhodes an outrageous amount of punishment before they brawl to a no-contest.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar vs Cody Rhodes NO CONTEST (Fight that ends for reasons outside the fighters’ hands, without a winner or loser)
Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar latest betting odds
The betting odds for Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar are here. Brock Lesnar was a slight favorite (-150) to overcome “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. Meanwhile, BetOnline had Rhodes (-300) as the favorite. A victory over Lesnar might establish Rhodes as a legitimate title challenger. However, it is hard to digest a storyline where Cody Rhodes defeats Brock Lesnar.
WHO YA GOT: @CodyRhodes OR @BrockLesnar?
