WWE is preparing to do a third match between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar after having them wrestle each other twice.
Coming out of WrestleMania 39, where Rhodes lost to Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns while Lesnar beat Omos, the two stars have been feuding with each other and have a 1-1 record in singles competition. At Backlash, Rhodes scored a win before losing to Lesnar at Night of Champions when Rhodes passed out in a kimura.
As previously hinted by Bryan Alvarez that he’s been told that the match will have a stipulation that we haven’t seen “in a while.” In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that a bull rope match is being considered for their bout at SummerSlam in August at Ford Field in Detroit, MI.
Meltzer wrote, “Lesnar vs. Rhodes III will be one of the SummerSlam main events. There has been a lot of talk about adding a stipulation and one of the ideas is a bullrope match. That is not official, and there are multiple other ideas for that match on the table, and no final decision has been made.”
The match features a long piece of rope attached to the right wrist of each competitor with a cowbell in the middle of it. The winner must hit the four corners of the ring in a row.
The last bull rope match that WWE held was in 2007 at the Great American Bash between Randy Orton and Dusty Rhodes.
