Brock Lesnar is injured.
At SummerSlam, the long-running feud between Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes came to an end. For much of the match, Rhodes was utterly dominated, but despite being physically destroyed he refused to quit — even at the urging of Lesnar.
Despite the onslaught, Rhodes rallied and eventually scored the win following three Cross Rhodes. After the match, Lesnar embraced Rhodes and raised his hand as a show of respect in a match that was completely unplanned.
It has since been reported that the match will be Lesnar’s last action in WWE for 2023. Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that the plan is for Lesnar to be back for the build-up to the Royal Rumble, he also revealed that The Beast suffered an undisclosed injury at the summer spectacular.
“Lesnar, who was injured early in the match where he put over Cody Rhodes, was at one point advertised for stuff later this year. As of right now, he put Rhodes over clean, shook his hand, turned himself back babyface in doing so, and the plan is for him to return on the television building up the Royal Rumble and from there going to WrestleMania.”
