Cody Rhodes came up short when challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 39, something that seemed to be a lock to happen, only for WWE to surprise fans with the match finish.
Coming out of WrestleMania, Rhodes has been feuding with Brock Lesnar, where the two stars have shared the ring twice and have a 1-1 record against each other. At Backlash, Rhodes scored a win before losing to Lesnar at Night of Champions when Rhodes passed out in a kimura.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE is planning to have the third match between them happen on August 5 at SummerSlam.
“Got big news. Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes is SummerSlam. SummerSlam, Ford Field. The match number three. I presume he’s (Rhodes) going to win too. He should win,” Meltzer stated.
