Ever since Brock Lesnar went rogue and brutally ambushed Cody Rhodes on Raw after WrestleMania, the stars have not seen eye to eye. Their rivalry has turned so bitter that every week, either one or the other gets severely injured. But mostly it’s Rhodes, who incurs the Beast’s wrath on WWE programming.

This week’s Monday Night show didn’t go well for ‘The American Nightmare’. His arch-nemesis caught him off guard one more time and took advantage of the situation. He got mauled by ‘The Beast Incarnate’ again on the show. Seeing the whole segment, fans got mad and voiced their disappointment online.

The 05/22 edition of Monday Night Raw opened with a backstage appearance of Rhodes. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Lesnar poped up and attacks him. He tossed him backstage and threw him into a wide array of objects. Lastly, he slammed Rhodes and banged his left arm into the garage door with a barrel, leaving his rival writhing in pain.

Later, in a segment, ‘The Conqueror’ made an in-ring appearance. He mocked his rival and claimed that he won’t be able to compete with him anymore at WWE Night of Champions because of the injury he caused. Therefore, he issues an open challenge for anyone to wrestle him during the upcoming PLE.

Fans then saw the injured star appear at ringside with a sling on his injured arm, making his way to face his assaulter. As Rhodes entered the ring, he tore off his sling and got ready to unleash vengeance. However, Lesnar pushed him into the corner and put him in a Kimura Lock, thus causing more damage to the injured arm.

The WWE Universe is fuming after this week’s Raw

Irate fans all around social media questioned the purpose of the whole segment. Why did Lesnar attack ‘The American Nightmare’ mere days before their big upcoming match at the Night of Champions? Here are some of the top comments from the fans.

“I don’t understand what’s the point of this”

“Meanwhile Roman still has all the championship gold, all this for what?”

“Put me in a ring with Lesner.. Fr. Whats the point of doing all of this?? Roman has still the belt duh!! Cody will rise again as he is American Nightmare.. I’m with you @americannightmarecody 👍”

“*sighs* so we still don’t know WHY they’re fighting. There’s an alternate universe not too far from this one where Cody’s the champion and this feud is over the title and at least makes sense. Roman winning was the wrong call, anything else at this point is Cope.”

“since wrestling I’ve been giving wwe the benefit of the doubt with this “redemption ark” of Codys with Brock and what not hoping that in the end Cody will be in the Undisputed tittle picture again…but srsl…what’s the point? Now they’ve given Cody a “Keyfabe injury” and taken him out of ppv for what, really?! I srsl dont get where this is going”

“Not gonna lie. This was a dumb move Cody. I’m gonna go ahead and say, if he can’t go to NOC? Something else is going on in his personal life. And that would suck for him.”
