Brock Lesnar brutally assaults Cody Rhodes on WWE RAW

Lesnar had a few tricks up his sleeve when he showed up on Monday Night RAW this week. He let his music send the arena into a frenzy but never walked out, leaving Rhodes confused at ringside.

But an impatient American Nightmare rushed backstage, only to be sent flying back by The Beast. Lesnar then used a steel chair in his proximity to viciously attack Cody Rhodes, dragging him back to the ringside. He then delivered an F5 on Rhodes in front of his family before taking the top babyface back inside the ring.

Lesnar held Rhodes in a Kimura Lock, punishing the RAW Superstar with all his might. He accepted the challenge and left the ring, only to return to unleash a more vicious assault during the commercial break.

The segment accounted for a blockbuster opening on RAW and worked brilliantly to set up their match at SummerSlam. It will be interesting to see which stipulation could be added to their upcoming showdown.
