Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes took place at the WWE SummerSlam premium live event from Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
The match ended when Cody reversed the F5 and hit multiple Cross Rhodes for the win. Post-match, Lesnar shook hands, hugged and raised Rhodes’ arm.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez brought up how Triple H said at the post-event press conference that the planned post-match celebration wasn’t planned and Lesnar did it on his own.
“Afterward, they have the big stare down, and Brock takes off the gloves and walks over, they have the big stare down. He shakes Cody’s hand, gives him a hug, raises his arm in victory, endorses him, and walks to the back. And they did a SummerSlam press conference afterward. Triple H was asked, “What does this mean? What’s going on?’ And Triple H claimed this was not a scheduled part of the show. This was not something that was booked. And as Brock was leaving, he decided that he was going to do this. So that’s the story Triple H told.”
