Brock Lesnar was part of the loaded show presented by the WWE in Saudi Arabia in the form of Night of Champions. He squared off against Cody Rhodes in match number two of their feud which also served as one of the co-main-events of the Saudi Arabia PLE. When the dust settled, Rhodes was ultimately passed out by the devastating Cobra Clutch submission of his opponent.
Brock Lesnar was announced victorious in the match as he settled the score 1-1 with Rhodes following his loss at Backlash PLE in early May. Also, at Night of Champions, Seth Rollins and AJ Styles collided with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Rollins ultimately won that match and continued carrying the lineage of a title that defined careers a long time ago.

With Rollins not yet involved in a championship feud, the speculation is that Brock Lesnar could end up being one of his challengers when he eventually returns on TV. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that WWE might set The Beast Incarnate up for a future World Heavyweight Championship storyline. This way, the victory over Cody Rhodes might make the most sense,
”And Brock having a win, Brock having a win is not the worst thing if Cody’s going to end up as champion anytime soon. Because you do want to build up contenders and Brock is always a viable contender.”

Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar share a ton of history
Only time will tell whether we’d see Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar feud in the WWE, shortly. These two do have a ton of history together in the WWE over the past several years. Rollins won his maiden WWE Title at Wrestlemania 31 by defeating Lesnar and Roman Reigns in a Triple Threat. Later, Rollins also defeated The Beast at Wrestlemania 35 and Summerslam 2019 for the Universal Championship.
As of this writing, reports do suggest that the Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes feud is far from over. Ringside News reached out to confirm that a third match is on the way for the two of them. A trusted and tenured member of the WWE creative team confirmed the future planning. Plus, Rhodes already issued a challenge for the rubber match against the 10-time WWE Champion which could go down at Summerslam.
