Brock Lesnar & Cody Rhodes Kick Off WWE Raw With Vicious Backstage Brawl

WWE

With just five days to go until WWE Night of Champions, the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar are set for a ‘fight’ on the show.

Ahead of tonight’s Raw, it was announced that both Rhodes and Lesnar would be appearing on tonight’s show, and they wasted no time meeting up with each other.

To kick off the show, Cody was jumped by Lesnar as he entered the arena, with Lesnar throwing him through a table and attacking his arm with a metal keg.

The segment led to a promo from Paul Heyman, who warned Cody that this is what he would be in store for at Night of Champions, though he made sure to note that he had nothing to do with the attack.

Here are results from last week’s May 15 episode of WWE Raw:

Shinsuke Nakamura def. The Miz

It was announced Liv Morgan had suffered an injury and the scheduled Women’s Tag Team Championship match was cancelled

Mustafa Ali won a battle royal to become #1 contender for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions
