Brock Lesnar found himself in a position not all that familiar to him as he tasted his own blood on his way to a major loss to Cody Rhodes at Backlash.

At Backlash in Puerto Rico, Lesnar dominated Cody Rhodes for much of the bout but Rhodes survived the F5 before sending Lesnar into the exposed turnbuckle which busted The Beast Incarnate’s head wide open.

Despite the blood loss, Lesnar managed to lock Rhodes into the Kimura but Rhodes managed to use his leverage to roll Lesnar up for the three count and the win. Afterward, the raucous crowd greeted Lesnar with a standing ovation for both his efforts on the night and his stellar WWE career.

WRKD Wrestling reported that it looks like Brock Lesnar’s sights will still be very much on Cody Rhodes despite Rhodes’ involvement in the tournament to crown a WWE World Heavyweight Champion:

“Cody Rhodes feud with Brock Lesnar is far from over. While Cody is currently in the #WWERaw World Heavyweight Championship tournament, the Beast Incarnate will quickly make his intentions known..”

The tournament to crown a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion will begin on Raw in a city very familiar to Rhodes – Jacksonville, Florida. Click here to find out exactly which 12 WWE Superstars are involved in that tournament.
