So, the question popped into my head the other day: “Did Cody Rhodes actually win at SummerSlam?” I remembered him having a big match, but the exact result fuzzy.
First thing, I had to figure out which SummerSlam we were talking about. He’s been around a while, right? But the big recent one that stuck in my mind was his whole feud with Brock Lesnar. That felt like SummerSlam material. So, I decided to look up SummerSlam 2023 specifically.
I just hopped online, you know, did a quick search. Typed in something like “Cody Rhodes Brock Lesnar SummerSlam 2023 result”. Didn’t take long to get the answer straight up.
Turns out, yes, Cody Rhodes did win his match at SummerSlam 2023. He beat Brock Lesnar clean in the middle of the ring. That was the third match in their series that year, the rubber match, so it was a pretty big deal for Cody to get that win over a guy like Lesnar.
It felt like a major step in his whole “finish the story” thing he was talking about back then. Seeing him overcome Lesnar like that was quite the moment.
Some Other Buzz I Saw
While I was checking on that SummerSlam result, I also stumbled across some other recent stuff involving Cody. You know how things pop up when you’re searching. I saw people talking about that moment after WrestleMania 40, on Raw I think it was.
Apparently, after a segment, The Rock pulled Cody close and whispered something in his ear. Made Cody smile, apparently. Later on, Cody mentioned what The Rock said, something heartwarming. It’s interesting seeing those kinds of interactions, especially with someone like The Rock. Just goes to show the kind of run Cody’s been on lately, getting nods from legends like that.
Anyway, back to the original question – yeah, he definitely got the W against Lesnar at SummerSlam ’23. Good to get that cleared up in my head.
