During the press conference after SummerSlam, Triple H spoke about Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes’ moment a bit. He confirmed that their showing of respect after the match was not part of the original plan at all.
I know that Cody said he hasn’t had time yet to digest the Brock Lesnar moment after their match. Completely unplanned, completely in the moment, and for me, you know, Brock Lesnar is such a unique athlete, but I don’t think he gets the credit for being one of the all-time greats at this, right? You know, unbelievable athlete at the highest of levels, but just talking about sports entertainment, in my opinion, one of the greatest of all time.
We will have to see what is next for Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes. Odds are the Beast Incarnate might take another break. That being said, Cody Rhodes will likely continue as a full-time Superstar.
Triple H also noted that Brock Lesnar showing Cody Rhodes that respect should also be a sign of where the American Nightmare is at in his career as well. Obviously, some big moments are in his future as well, and SummerSlam is just the start.
