At Night of Champions Cody Rhodes lost the match, but didn’t give up. He passed out after Brock Lesnar put him in a Kimura Lock for several minutes. Since ‘The American Nightmare’ didn’t tap out and both stars have one win over each other a third match between the two is likely at one of the upcoming PLEs.

Triple H might have plans for Rhodes, but hose plans aren’t for Money in the Bank but for SummerSlam.

Recently, WrestleVotes suggested to GiveMeSport the future plans for Cody Rhodes. As per their report, those plans circle around the former two-time Intercontinental champion facing Lesnar at SummerSlam. 

The report stated, “Yeah, there’s a good shot of this story could go all the way through to SummerSlam, especially if Cody and Roman’s not on a table for Ford Field. So Brock is always going to be a big-time matchup unless it’s, you know, not to take anything away from Omos but that was a one-time thing. I’d expect Brock to be back at the top of the card at some point, if not main eventing.”

It seems WWE was planning a third match between Rhodes and Lesnar. The second match in Saudi Arabia made the fans furious over WWE booking The Beast. Hence, there might be a split opinion among the fans to see a third match.

Furthermore, he started the feud with Brock Lesnar the next night. Reigns is currently involved in a re-ignited Bloodline storyline. It seems WWE will keep Rhodes and Reigns separate for a while. However, as per the report, Rhodes might be made to wait until next year to have his crowning moment.
