Cody Rhodes Confrontation with WWE RAW Star After SummerSlam Victory

Cody Rhodes defeats Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, earns respect and potentially sets up a title match against Seth Rollins on WWE RAW.

In a thrilling showdown at SummerSlam in Detroit, Cody Rhodes faced off against Brock Lesnar once again. The match started with Lesnar dominating, but Rhodes showed incredible resilience and refused to be defeated. The American Nightmare fought back and ultimately conquered The Beast by executing three consecutive Cross Rhodes moves, securing the pinfall victory.

Meanwhile, the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, also had a match at WWE SummerSlam. He successfully defended his title against Finn Balor, despite interference from The Judgment Day. Damian Priest attempted to assist Balor by passing him the Money in the Bank briefcase, but it backfired. Rollins outsmarted Balor and delivered a powerful Stomp on top of the briefcase, retaining his championship.

Although Rhodes and Rollins had an epic rivalry last year, it was not for a title. However, now that Rhodes has emerged victorious against Lesnar, there is a possibility of renewing their rivalry on WWE RAW. Both Rhodes and Rollins have gained a significant fan following, and the anticipation for a title match between these two stars would be immense.

Cody Rhodes recently suffered a devastating loss to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39, where he failed to capture the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and complete his story. Nevertheless, after his triumph over Lesnar at SummerSlam, the 38-year-old is likely to earn an opportunity to face Seth Rollins.

While the World Heavyweight Championship may not have been Rhodes' initial goal, it is currently the most coveted prize on RAW. A rivalry between Rhodes and Rollins would undoubtedly add more excitement and intrigue to the World Heavyweight Championship scene.

In a surprising turn of events, Brock Lesnar broke character after his match with Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam to show him respect. The rivalry between Rhodes and Lesnar had personal undertones, with Lesnar tormenting Rhodes for months and even attacking him in front of his mother on a recent episode of RAW. However, Rhodes's victory over Lesnar earned his respect, and after the match, Lesnar shook Rhodes's hand and posed with him for the crowd.

Despite his loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes has managed to maintain his popularity. Only time will tell if he will have another opportunity at a championship in WWE, but his recent triumph over Lesnar has certainly put him back in the spotlight.
