“Unbelievable. By the way, that whole package set this thing up, and you just summarized the story verbally, but the package did it visually. Yes. Yeah. You’re gonna tell me there’s no story there. What kind of a moron would suggest that there was no story in that package. You mean you summarize it verbally, but that package illustrated it in such a powerful way. That was next.
“It’s exactly what I tweeted while I was watching it. It is the next level. There is nothing I’ve ever seen done as well as that particular package. Take that, trolls, and the match itself was phenomenal. The improv ending, if it wasn’t needed, improv ending, I’ve been led to believe that it was with Brock.

“Finally, you know, raising Cody’s hand and endorsing Cody even after that battle after Cody beat Brock, I can’t believe anybody would’ve watched that thing and walked away going, yeah, but your story there. Oh God, it was phenomenal. It was phenomenal. Hats off to Brock. First and foremost, Brock did a magnificent job. A believably putting Cody over believably.
“Yes. Because if, if you, if you just dropped out of one of the UFOs that everybody’s talking about now, that evidently are landing every place and been around for a while, if you just came down from wherever you came from and your UFO and you watch that, you watch the interest of that match, you would assume that Brock Lesnar was going to eat Cody Rhodes alive. Yes.
“And Cody was the underdog as he should have been, as he was, as he was storyline-wise. You troll sons of bitches. He came up from underneath. He overcame the odds, the obvious physical odds.” Concluded the WWE Hall of Famer.
Lesnar might have done an excellent gesture after his Summerslam match but there is an unfortunate news for his fans. According to reports from various media sources, Lesnar might not return to WWE before 2024. So we can expect him to return for WrestleMania 40 or he might also make appearance at Royal Rumble.
