Cody Rhodes wants Brock Lesnar at Backlash

According to the WWE, Lesnar will answer the call on next week's Monday Night RAW episode at the Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

The WWE has not announced anything for WWE Backlash even though the event is just weeks away. The upcoming PPV will see the WWE return to Puerto Rico on May 6 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan. The only information about WWE Backlash that's confirmed at the moment is that Bad Bunny is hosting.

Triple H wants everyone to know that the story of Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes is still far from over, and judging by how everything is turning out, it definitely appears that there's a plan in place.

Maybe, just maybe, Rhodes didn't deserve to be the champ at WrestleMania 39. Triple H knows a thing or two about being handed things and he's well aware that working hard for something always resonates with fans. Even though Rhodes was the favorite to win at WrestleMania 39, there was still lingering doubt about the WWE giving him the easy route. And, well, there isn't a road tougher than having Rhodes go through someone who's literally taken up giants and won championships at every level he's competed in.

Having Rhodes go up against someone who's arguably just as deserving to be the "final boss" of the WWE as Reigns and win convincingly is an excellent recipe for a scrumptious tale.

However, we can't help but wonder if the WWE creative team has other plans for Rhodes. What if Rhodes loses to Lesnar? Better yet, what if Lesnar squashes Rhodes? In this hypothetical scenario, there's no way to explain what Triple H is thinking other than wanting revenge against The American Nightmare for constantly mocking him during his time at the AEW.

This would definitely explain why the WWE took the all-time WrestleMania win moment from Rhodes.

Speaking of Backlash, Roman Reigns is reportedly not scheduled to appear in Puerto Rico. It appears that the WWE wants to sideline The Tribal Chief for the meantime and cede the spotlight to Rhodes and Lesnar, among others.
