Surely, after a bloody first match and a submission-filled second match, their third match will be a top-notch one. Unfortunately, an enormous opportunity won’t materialize to make Rhodes vs Lesnar 3.

A massive stipulation was rejected for Brock Lesnar vs Cody Rhodes

Lesar won at the Night of Champions after Rhodes passed out while being locked in the Kimura Lock. The former two-time Intercontinental Champion took the beating by the hand of ‘The Conqueror’ but didn’t tap out.

On the following week’s RAW, The American Nightmare cut a promo in which he called out Lesnar for one more match. Clearly, the third match will be bigger after the WWE universe witnessed the previous two bouts.

There are several possibilities to book a memorable third match between The Beast and the former AEW star. However, a former WWE official has a view the company will book an ‘I Quit’ match.

He said, “Well, they’ve already gone through, umm, the first match was a [singles] match, but the second match was a fight but of nebulous’ particular stipulations. But I have a, it called for an I Quit match or as Vince likes to say a submission match but it calls for an I Quit match. But I can’t envision Brock ever saying the words or actually tapping.”
