Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar are scheduled to have a regular match tonight on WWE SummerSlam.
RAW Superstar Cody Rhodes recently sat down with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful. When asked why no stipulation was added to his rubber match with Brock Lesnar, Rhodes says it’s because neither man wants to have an out.
“I don’t think either of us would have wanted a stipulation. Neither of us want an out,” Cody Rhodes said. “The stipulation, you can have an out. Neither of us wanted an out. Brock, either you’re going to beat me, or I’m going to beat Brock. Brock may not consider [being me] a big deal, but it is, and in my case, if I was able to pull it out, I can gladly say, what else is there if you’re not only able to beat Brock Lesnar not once but twice? That’s punching a ticket somewhere very lofty and special, and that’s what I want to do.”
Rhodes doesn’t want to steal Lesnar’s F5
When asked if he has two matches against Brock if he’ll steal The Beast Incarnate’s F5 maneuver, Rhodes said he doesn’t think you’ll ever see him doing that move, but he’d love to steal something from Lesnar’s arsenal.
“I don’t know if you’ll ever catch me doing an F5, but I would love to steal something from Brock’s arsenal. He’s so unique and so different,” Cody Rhodes admitted. “I’m not going to say anything nice about Brock and go on and wax poetic about him, but I will say this, when Brock is not around sports entertainment and wrestling anymore, people will realize what we had in the Beast. What a presence. What a huge force. We’re living in the most profitable era of WWE; Brock Lesnar is a huge part of that. My hats off to him in regards to that. That’s the only nice thing you’re getting me about Brock.” [H/T: Fightful]
