WWE Backlash 2023 is the next special event scheduled on the WWE calendar and Brock Lesnar should be part of it. He was angry about not getting the main event spotlight at WrestleMania 39 and he took out all the frustrations, a night after the Show of Shows. The main-eventer of WrestleMania 39 turned out to be his victim and that attack will now set up a match at the next WWE Premium Live Event
Brock Lesnar didn’t leave Raw last week without destroying Cody Rhodes, and the latter one wasn’t obviously happy about how things turned out. So, this week on Raw, Cody got the chance the backfire with a mic in hand and he was also quick to issue a challenge for WWE Backlash 2023. Next week, when Lesnar returns, we will get to know whether the match will be made official or not.
As noted above, Lesnar destroyed Cody Rhodes last week on Raw for nearly 10 minutes in the main event segment where they were supposed to team up against The Bloodline in a tag team match with the stipulation suggesting that a win could put Cody back into the championship hunt for the two top world title belts possessed by none other than Roman Reigns.

Now that the opportunity has been vanquished, Cody Rhodes returned on this week’s episode of Raw and delivered a strong message to the Beast Incarnate.

He called out Lesnar for not being happy with his WrestleMania spot before challenging him to a match at WWE Backlash 2023.

As the current storyline progresses, we can certainly expect these two superstars to get involved in the potential main event of WWE Backlash 2023.

Now, the fans can also expect to see the top babyface Cody Rhodes getting some revenge from Brock Lesnar in the upcoming event.
