Brock Lesnar received a big challenge from Cody Rhodes on WWE RAW this week. The Beast Incarnate was challenged to a match at WWE Backlash on May 6th.
This week on RAW before the closing match, they confirmed that Brock Lesnar will be on the show next week to answer Cody Rhodes’ Backlash challenge. It’s pretty apparent what Lesnar’s answer will be.
WWE has not announced any matches so far for Backlash. We do know that Bad Bunny will host the event. It was confirmed by Rey Mysterio on RAW this week that Bunny will be back.
Ringside News exclusively reported that Brock Lesnar’s heel turn was planned a long time ago. This was not a spur of the moment call. That being said, now he will take on Cody Rhodes next, because The Beast Incarnate doesn’t turn down from a challenge.
