Things are heating up on WWE Raw on the occasion of Night of Champions 2023 as we expect a stacked show, next week. Brock Lesnar will be back on board for the show before his rematch against Cody Rhodes. It was last week that he issued a challenge to Rhodes for the rematch at the upcoming Saudi Arabia PLE.
Then, this week on WWE Raw, Rhodes appeared for a promo session and he further confirmed that the rematch will indeed be going down at the upcoming PLE. But prior to that, on the May 22 episode, Rhodes and Lesnar will come under one roof which could ensue in a physical brawl.
