WWE SummerSlam 2023: 10 Things That Must Happen
4. Cody Rhodes Wins The Tie-Breaker
Brock Lesnar has been having a jolly old time kicking Cody Rhodes head in lately. They're locked at one win apiece, but WWE has been clear about who the physically-imposing threat is in this rivalry. The good news is that should change come SummerSlam this Saturday night.
This is Cody's series to win, basically.
He's the one with long-term World Title ambitions, not Lesnar (which is a strange thing to say about Brock), and that's why Rhodes should score a momentum-boosting win in Detroit and go 2-1. Then, WWE can decide if they fancy reigniting things once Cody wins a top prize - it'd make sense if Lesnar came knocking again after that.
Rhodes lost at WrestleMania, and he shouldn't be forced to suffer the indignity of another major PLE defeat here. Nah, give him the victory, then kick off a fresh feud and start wheels in motion towards his inevitable World Title success.
