Brock Lesnar will return to WWE action and answer Cody Rhodes' SummerSlam rubber match challenge on next week's episode of Raw.

WWE has confirmed that Lesnar will be in the house on next week's flagship. Their hype graphic for his appearance includes Cody too, so it looks like both will work some sort of face-to-face angle pushing their third pay-per-view bout before clashing on 5 August in Detroit.

Rhodes appeared solo on this past Monday's Raw to fire out a challenge to Brock - they're currently tied at one win apiece (Cody beat Lesnar at Backlash in early-May, then Brock returned the favour by snagging a victory of his own later the same month at Night Of Champions over in Saudi Arabia).

Now, a few months on, they're set to collide in a make or break battle at SummerSlam. This could be the match that launches Cody back into the World Title scene on Raw, or it might be another false dawn for his title hopes.

Fans should expect some physicality between both men on TV regardless. An F5 or a Cross Rhodes is incoming!
