Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar's feud was reignited once again on this week's episode of WWE RAW. Lesnar attacked Rhodes during his triple-threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship tournament.
After an intense match at Backlash, many fans thought that was the last time both stars are going to face each other, but that is now clear to be false.

For this list, we are going to explore three possible reasons why the Stamford-based promotion continued the feud between Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes.

#3. To potentially avoid fan wrath for the World Heavyweight Championship
Not a lot of fans were happy with the idea of Cody Rhodes winning the new World Heavyweight Championship. Some thought that if he'd won, it'd be a consolation prize as he'd not managed to defeat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
The claims became more heated when Rhodes was added to the triple-threat tournament, but he is now sure not going to win the title as he was attacked by Brock Lesnar during the bout.
With this in mind, it's possible it was to avoid the wrath of fans who truly want to see The American Nightmare take the titles away from The Tribal Chief to finish his story.
#2. Cody Rhodes could be feuding with Brock Lesnar to fill the gap for a legitimate opponent
Continuing with the assumption that Rhodes is going to feud with Reigns in the future to finish his story, then we could consider Lesnar as one of the chapters.
The Tribal Chief is close to achieving 1000 days as champion and won't have the chance to drop the titles before hitting the record. It's safe to say that a feud with Lesnar could fill in the gap for now.
With the unpredictability of the sport, it's even possible that some superstars might make themselves known during and after the Rhodes vs. Lesnar match at Night of Champions.
#1. Brock Lesnar could be one of Cody Rhodes' steps of adversity in his quest to become champion
It's no secret that Cody Rhodes had an extensive road to get to his current state in WWE. After leaving WWE in 2016, mostly due to creative reasons after having to portray Stardust, he went on to make a name for himself in the independent scene and helped establish All Elite Wrestling.
After six years away, he returned to the Stamford-based promotion as one of the most notable wrestlers in the world. Since then, he has remained a top star and even had fans rooting for him to win on WrestleMania Night 2. From the looks of it, the adversities he faced may not be enough for the company.
It's possible that the extended rivalry could help Cody Rhodes build his character even more. Especially after their first bout at Puerto Rico, the former AEW star's win could be deemed as lucky, and now he has a chance to prove his legitimacy when they meet for the second time.
