Kevin Nash gave his thoughts on Brock Lesnar putting over Cody Rhodes in their trilogy bout at WWE SummerSlam 2023 during the latest episode of his Kliq This podcast.
Rhodes hit three Cross Rhodes to get the win, and after the match, Lesnar shook Cody’s hand.
“I didn’t know how manufactured [the] Cody [moment] was. If it was because of the Peacock [documentary] and all the things that make you go … ‘Is the machine pushing him or are the people really behind him?’ It could be both, but I heard that it was not in the script, nor was it discussed, for Brock to shake his hand and raise his hand. I heard it was impromptu on Brock’s behalf as he felt he [Cody] was worthy. That spoke volumes about how Brock felt about Cody. That also changed my opinion, since I’ve never been in the ring with Cody. Obviously, you feel that energy when you’re in the ring with a guy. I was very happy [for Cody] because the roster is not that full. You can’t afford to mishandle a talent, and they didn’t [with Cody]. I am proud of him because I think really loves this business. I’m happy for him, for Dusty, and the Rhodes family.“
