Brock Lesnar is nicknamed ‘The Beast Incarnate’ for a reason. His towering figure coupled with his menacing in-ring moves sends shivers down the spines of most wrestlers. But one giant seemed totally unfazed when he locked horns with The Beast. That same giant has now set his eyes on Lesnar’s arch-nemesis, Cody Rhodes.

Fans thought that Lesnar was Rhodes’ biggest challenge to date, well that is just about to change.

The American Nightmare’s rivalry with Brock Lesnar started in April when Lesnar viciously attacked Rhodes. That led to a feud between the two that lasted almost three months. Rhodes emerged victorious from that competition with 2 out of 3 victories.

What was even more important for Rhodes was that he earned the respect of Brock Lesnar towards the end. After Rhodes put an end to Lesnar’s chapter at SummerSlam, ‘Dirty’ Dominik set his eyes on him. They have been involved in a rivalry ever since and Rhodes has beaten Mysterio in all the 3 matches to date.

But in the last match that took place at WWE’s SuperShow last night, Rhodes was tossed around like a child by someone who did the same with Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 39. We are talking about ‘The Nigerian Giant’ Omos, who stands at 7ft 3in tall and weighs over 400 pounds.

Rhodes was having a Street Fight match with ‘Dirty’ Dom when he slid out of the ring. Then, out of nowhere, MVP popped up with Omos who carried Rhodes and tossed him in like a baby. But in spite of this interference, Rhodes managed to defeat Mysterio and go 3 up in their rivalry. So will Rhodes now enter into a feud with Omos? Well, there are various speculations considering what’s going on in the WWE.

Fans are speculating that Cody Rhodes will replace AJ Styles at Fastlane

AJ Styles was brutally attacked backstage by Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa just before the contract signing of their match at Fastlane. As a result, Styles was immediately rushed to the hospital and will not compete at Fastlane as John Cena’s tag team partner.

This leaves his spot open and fans are speculating that Cody Rhodes might be the probable replacement for Styles. Rhodes obviously has a bone to pick with Solo Sikoa who cost him the title against Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 39.
