Following his surprise assault at the hands of Brock Lesnar last week, Cody Rhodes is on a mission to take down “The Beast Incarnate” at WWE’s Backlash.
Taking to the ring tonight during WWE Raw, Rhodes addressed his future, as he promised to do so over the weekend. According to Rhodes, things seemed a little cloudy nowadays. Following his loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, he apologized to the crowd for the defeat, and acknowledged what Paul Heyman told him, that he has to “earn” another shot at Reigns. However, Rhodes said he didn’t have to “earn” anything, he is it, but that was quickly shut down by Lesnar’s attack last week.
Rhodes said that for Lesnar, he looks around and sees “victim” no matter what superstar he stares at. Cody wondered if Brock also saw him as a victim, and acknowledged he was scared of Lesnar, and would be stupid not to be.
However, he said that he won’t let that fear stop him from challenging him to a match at Backlash, and when Lesnar blinks, Rhodes will strike, when Lesnar looks in the mirrior, he’ll see a victim, Rhodes’ victim.
