Fighting your biggest challenge in life head on and eventually coming out of it victorious is what everyone aims for. Very few have the courage and fortitude to actually do so. But that’s not the case with ‘The American Nightmare’ Cody Rhodes when it came to Brock Lesnar. What Rhodes lacked in strength, he made up for in grit and determination, thus defeating Lesnar twice out of their 3 encounters. But despite their heated rivalry, he has an added amount of respect for Lesnar but also never wants to wrestle him again.

But Lesnar broke character and hugged Rhodes and raised his hand to the crowd showing that he respected him as an athlete. Fans erupted in joy as this was not the fairytale ending they expected for that bout. Post the match Rhodes commended Lesnar and continues to do so even today.

During his recent appearance on the podcast My Mom’s Basement, he said fans will really miss Lesnar when he leaves the WWE. He said, “I’m so glad we got to have 3 together, and I was able to get 2 wins out of it at this point of his career. I said this at the press conference after SummerSlam, I dont wanna ruin the lore, the allure, the mystique and I don’t think I could of Brock Lesnar. I will say, if you’ve heard negative things about Brock Lesnar, I take them with a grain of salt because I feel like when he is gone from this he will be greatly missed for how unique and professional and just somebody who’s gonna make you eat every centimeter you get”.
