"I don't ever wanna go back" to Suplex City, says WWE star who was betrayed by Brock Lesnar

A top WWE Superstar has made it clear that he never wants to go back to Suplex City after feuding with Brock Lesnar in the past.

Brock Lesnar is one of the most dangerous entities in the history of WWE as well as pro wrestling. The Beast Incarnate targeted Cody Rhodes immediately after WrestleMania 39. The duo was supposed to team up on the RAW after 'Mania, but Lesnar ended up betraying Cody and attacked him during the closing moments of the show.

He then kicked off a months-long feud with The American Nightmare. At SummerSlam 2023, the feud finally came to an end, with Cody leading at 2-1.

On tonight's special edition of WWE RAW, The American Nightmare opened up about feuding with Brock Lesnar earlier this year. He had the following to say about the feud:

"I'd say what I learned from the trip to Suplex City is: I don't ever wanna go back," said Rhodes.

At Backlash 2023, Cody Rhodes scored a huge win over Lesnar and managed to beat him in less than ten minutes. Lesnar then beat Rhodes at Night of Champions, thus making the score 1-1.

Rhodes eventually won the feud when he beat Lesnar once again at SummerSlam 2023. Lesnar raised Rhodes' hand after the match as a sign of respect.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
