Major WWE star opens up on "the most aggressive" fights with Brock Lesnar

A major WWE Superstar recently got candid about his massive feud with Brock Lesnar. In 2023, The Beast Incarnate gave fans one of the biggest storylines alongside Cody Rhodes.

After feuding for weeks, The American Nightmare and Brock Lesnar locked horns in their first bout on May 6, 2023, at the Backlash Premium Live Event, which ended in Rhodes' favor. In their second outing, the arch-rivals faced each other at Night of Champions, in which Lesnar emerged victorious.

However, their rivalry did not conclude until August as they put on an incredible performance in their third outing at WWE SummerSlam, which was ultimately won by Rhodes.

During an edition of YMH Studios' 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, Cody Rhodes said that people who doubted wrestling was real should go back and watch his WWE matches with Brock Lesnar. Rhodes also mentioned that he was extremely proud of the work he and Lesnar put into their bouts:

"I can tell you, if people ever wonder how real, wrestling can be, the three matches I had with Brock Lesnar are the most competitive. And there’s a thing when you work with a guy who’s a big monster... You have to actually earn it. And earn it is as close to it being in a real fight as I’ve ever been in my life. I look back at the three matches with Brock, lovingly and so proud of the body of work we put up," he said.

The American Nightmare recalled that he was scared while competing against The Beast Incarnate because of the aggression and intensity of the matches:

"But also I remember, scared is probably an appropriate term. But just, that was the most aggressive, and I’ve been in fights and I’ve wrestled folk style, freestyle, did all that. That was the most real anything had ever been for me in the ring. And it actually gave me a whole new education on getting to the, I guess to the top of our game. What it really means is there is an element of, ‘You’re not just taking this.’ Like you… This is going to be a bit of a struggle. Because that man is a freak athlete," he added.
