"We've established that Brock is not coming back immediately" - Wrestling veteran discusses Cody Rhodes' future in WWE

Former WWE manager Jim Cornette recently spoke about the final chapter in the rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar.

Rhodes and Lesnar have been at each other's throats since the night after WrestleMania 39. They have their first showdown at Backlash 2023, with Cody walking away with the win.

However, The Beast made it even when they collided at Night of Champions Premium Live Event. With the tally at 1-1, The American Nightmare wants to settle the score with his adversary once and for all and has been calling him out for one last match.

On a recent episode of Jim Cornette's Drive Thru, the wrestling veteran stated that WWE was building up the feud to culminate at SummerSlam. He stated that from a storyline standpoint, the match wasn't going to happen until Cody's arm had healed completely.

"I think they're probably trying to stretch this, to I don't know what date SummerSlam is this summer. But we need a couple of months out of this. So he says Brock is in his annual hibernation, so we won't see him for a while and they kinda boo. So we've established that Brock is not coming back immediately. He can't fight him again till his arm is well. So we're not gonna see Brock again till Cody's arm heals." [From 4:08 - 4:34]

The American Nightmare did not take too kindly to this and decked the Hollywood star with the cast on his broken arm.
