Cody Rhodes was flying high after winning the Royal Rumble Match, heading into his big fight with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
But between WrestleMania and the following night on Raw, the dream turned into a nightmare. Not only did Rhodes lose to Reigns in controversial fashion in the WrestleMania main event, but he was suddenly ambushed by Brock Lesnar just before the two were set to battle Reigns and Solo Sikoa in tag team action on Raw.
The Beast brutalized Rhodes to a shocking and uncomfortable degree, obliterating him with steel chairs and the ring steps as the Raw After WrestleMania came to a stunning conclusion.
Since then, Rhodes has been on a quest to challenge Lesnar to a match at WWE Backlash, and on the April 17 edition of Raw, Lesnar accepted Rhodes’ challenge.
Can Rhodes bounce back from his WrestleMania loss with a victory over The Beast, or will Lesnar obliterate The American Nightmare? Find out at WWE Backlash, streaming LIVE from Puerto Rico on Saturday, May 6, at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.
