Cody Rhodes challenged Roman Reigns to a rematch for his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Monday night, following his devastation on Sunday night. But that match was shot down by “The Tribal Chief”. Then instead Rhodes asked for him to have a tag-team match which Reigns accepted with “The Wise Man” giving some rules for Rhodes to fight against Roman Reigns. Paul Heyman asked Rhodes to find a partner who have never wrestled with him. Suddenly Brock Lesnar’s music pops and the faces go blank of Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman.

When Brock Lesnar made his way to the ring in the first segment of WWE RAW following WrestleMania this past Monday, he was meant to join up with Cody Rhodes. Only a few hours later did The Beast alter his mind and chose to kill his buddy instead. What happened throughout those two hours? Clearly, only one individual could have approached Brock Lesnar and convinced him to cancel the match: the same man who consented to it in the first place.

Why did Brock Lesnar attack, Cody Rhodes?

This week’s Monday Night RAW featured a major plot twist as Brock Lesnar was set to join up with Cody Rhodes in the main event against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. Instead, it concluded with Lesnar allegedly attacking Rhodes to build up their match. WWE revealed the unusual cause for the attack on the most recent edition of SmackDown.

After Brock Lesnar violently pummelling Cody Rhodes on RAW, fans were taken aback. Cody asked Roman Reigns for a WrestleMania 39 rematch, but he required a tag team partner for the main event. Lesnar entered the ring after being barred from facing Roman Reigns after losing to him in their “Last Man Standing” battle at SummerSlam 2022.

Wade Barrett said on SmackDown this week that Brock Lesnar assaulted Cody Rhodes because he was upset because his battle against Omos began the program while Rhode’s main event the night.

This might be the reason and might not be. But it would be interesting to see whether “The American Nightmare” can overcome “The Beast Incarnate”.
