Real Reason behind WWE booking Brock Lesnar at Backlash 2023 - Reports

Brock Lesnar continued his dominance inside WWE's squared circle when he beat 'The Nigerian Giant' Omos at WrestleMania 39. The next night, The Beast Incarnate turned heel and attacked Cody Rhodes. According to a recent report, there is a reason behind booking Lesnar vs. Rhodes at Backlash 2023.

After ending his feuds against Omos and Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar immediately targeted 'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes before their planned tag team match against The Bloodline's Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa on the RAW after WrestleMania 39.

Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes could not finish his story and received further adversity in the form of The Beast Incarnate. Later, Rhodes challenged Brock Lesnar to a match at WWE Backlash 2023. Fans believed the bout would happen in Saudi Arabia, but the company had other plans.

According to a recent report from PWInsider Elite via SEScoops, the company wants to push Puerto Rico as a travel destination for fans, similar to their work with Saudi Arabia, which usually takes place twice a year, and even in the United Kingdom, where they are scheduled to go later in June.

It is one of the main reasons behind the company booking several major matches on the card, including a match between Lesnar and Rhodes. It will be interesting to see if The American Nightmare can slay The Beast Incarnate ahead of Money in the Bank and SummerSlam 2023.
