WWE may not bring back 15-time champion to face Brock Lesnar in Cody Rhodes' rumored hiatus this summer, predicts Google AI
Cody Rhodes faced the wrath of Brock Lesnar on Monday Night RAW this week when The Beast Incarnate annihilated The American Nightmare not once but twice.
Lesnar kicked off RAW by injuring Rhodes' left arm (kayfabe) in a backstage sneak attack. Later on the show, he announced that the former AEW EVP wouldn't be medically fit to compete at Night of Champions.
Hence, Brock Lesnar issued an open challenge to anyone in the locker room but out came Cody Rhodes with a sling in his arm. The Beast Incarnate once again jumped on the 37-year-old and locked him in the Kimura Lock, adding insult to injury.
The two men are set to lock horns again at the Night of Champions this Saturday. According to the reports, WWE could be planning to write Cody Rhodes off the television after the Premium Live Event in Saudi Arabia.
If that happens, the company might need certain someone to fight The Beast Incarnate in Cody Rhodes' rumored absence. For what it's worth, WWE should bring in Dustin Rhodes, given his AEW contract will expire sometime this summer.
However, Google AI (Artificial Intelligence) ruled out the possibility of WWE bringing back a part-timer like Dustin on a bloated roster:
"It is unlikely that Dustin Rhodes will leave AEW to face Brock Lesnar. Rhodes has been with AEW since its inception, and he has been a key part of the company's success. He is also a popular wrestler with the fans, and he is happy with his current position in AEW. Additionally, there is no guarantee that Rhodes would be able to sign with WWE if he were to leave AEW. WWE has a limited number of spots on its roster, and it is not clear that Rhodes would be a priority for the company."
The Bard did say that even if the 54-year-old were to leave AEW, he wouldn't want to jump ship just to face Brock Lesnar:
"It is possible that Rhodes could leave AEW in the future, but it is unlikely that he would do so to face Brock Lesnar. There are other factors that would likely play a role in his decision, such as money and creative control."
Brock Lesnar's Kimura Lock on Cody Rhodes' damaged arm. It looks like they'll use it as an excuse for Brock to win at Night of Champions... or not. #WWERAW

Dustin Rhodes reacted to Brock Lesnar decimating Cody Rhodes on WWE RAW
Dustin Rhodes was ostensibly furious when he took to Twitter to react to his brother Cody Rhodes taking a vicious beatdown at the hands of The Beast Incarnate.
The AEW star sent an explicit message to the WWE legend. You can check out his tweet below:
"@BrockLesnar is a piece of sh*t!!" tweeted Dustin Rhodes.
Oh my god Oh My God Oh My God!
"I am Going to Night Of champions And I Am Going to Fight Brock Lesnar"! - Cody Rhodes😭😭
He Earned That Respect From Triple H!
I love You @CodyRhodes https://t.co/VaWDUEl7VA
Dustin Rhodes' in-ring days are numbers, as he had gone on record to tease his retirement. But a potential last hurrah against The Alpha Male of Our Species would be a fitting way for him to ride off into the sunset.
