It was reported earlier today via Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio that the plan for the third Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar match is for it to happen at WWE SummerSlam in Detroit.
This afternoon on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez said that he’s been told that the match will have a stipulation that we haven’t seen “in a while.”
“I have been told that it is gonna be something,” Alvarez said about the match. “It’s not just gonna be a straight match. They’ve got some sort of stip that allegedly we have not seen in a while and that means not Hell in a Cell. So I wonder what stip they might be coming up with for the third match between these two.” Alvarez joked, “I hope it’s not ring of fire.”
No other details are available but it is worth noting that last week it was #BWE (Better Wrestling Experience) broke the news last week that a Dog Collar match had been pitched but the idea was rejected. Cody Rhodes is a big fan of the Dog Collar match because it was a match stipulation that was done in the 70s and 80s by his father Dusty and others such as Greg Valentine and Ric Flair. Cody had a Dog Collar match against Brodie Lee in AEW.
