Fans reacted to a hilarious clip of Cody Rhodes during his match against Brock Lesnar at WWE Backlash.

After weeks of calling out Brock Lesnar for his vicious assault on him, Cody Rhodes finally went toe-to-toe with The Beast Incarnate at Backlash. The match was as physical as anyone expected.

Cody couldn't even wait for Brock to get in the ring. The American Nightmare attacked him while he was making an entrance.

While Lesnar applied the Kimura lock, Cody shifted his weight and pinned him.

While the match was brutal as expected, one hilarious clip from the match has been making the rounds on social media. In the clip, Cody can be seen power-walking toward the steel steps after punching Brock Lesnar.

The funny moment had fans in splits who didn't hesitate to voice their thoughts on it. Check out some of the reactions below:

One fan referenced Crash Holly.

Another fan said he missed "Showtime" Eric Young.

While another fan suggest that Cody might have been trying to get Brock to break character.


Matt Cardona wants to feud with Cody Rhodes if he returns to WWE

Cody Rhodes is a hot commodity in the world of professional wrestling at the moment. After his win against Brock Lesnar, Cody has proved that he can hold his own against any opponent. Hence, it should come as no surprise that a former WWE superstar wants to feud with Cody if he ever makes his return to the WWE.

In a recent interview with Heated Shenanigans podcast, Matt Cardona revealed that he wants a feud with Cody.

"I don't know, off the top of my head, what my first program would be back but there's a lot of guys I'd like to get in the ring with. Cody Rhodes is one of them. And there's a story that is more than just a wrestling story. A true life story. And I think that's what makes wrestling the most special is when there's that element of realism behind it. Like, is this real? Is this not? When you have to question, I think that's when wrestling is at its best. And also he's at the top, right? So, go right for the top dog." [4:13 - 5:10]
