Cody Rhodes def. Brock Lesnar

“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes slayed “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar in front of a red-hot Puerto Rican crowd. 

Before the official rang the bell, Rhodes launched an all-out assault on Lesnar, attacking him with a steel chair and the steel steps. Once the match began, Rhodes continued his attack, but his attempt at a Cody Cutter was countered into a devastating German suplex. 

Lesnar showed no mercy to The American Nightmare, delivering devastating blows and even tossing Rhodes into an exposed turnbuckle. However, Rhodes turned the tables and sent The Beast face-first into the exposed steel, which resulted in a nasty battle scar for Lesnar. 

A battered Beast survived two Cross Rhodes and even hit an F5 and locked in his Kimura, but Rhodes landed a remarkable counter and pinned Lesnar’s shoulders to the mat for a shocking win.
