WWE Cody Rhodes has commented on his post match moment with Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam.
At WWE SummerSlam 2023, Cody Rhodes defeated Brock Lesnar in the rubber match of their feud. Following the bout, Lesnar shook Cody’s hand, hugged him and raised his hand in a show of respect.
As previously reported, the show of respect was unplanned beforehand with Lesnar providing fans with the memorable unscripted moment.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Cody Rhodes commented on the unscripted moment. He said:
“As I saw him taking his gloves off, I sincerely thought he was going to start swinging.”
“Then we went head-to-head, and it felt like we were a millisecond away from starting up again. So I didn’t anticipate that handshake coming.”
“When I saw his hand, I was grateful. That’s not something he does. Again, this run has consistently surprised me. The torch isn’t passed. You have to take it.”
