WWE Backlash 2023 Results: Cody Rhodes punishes Brock Lesnar, wins main event on Sunday

WWE Backlash 2023 concluded on Saturday night, with Cody Rhodes defeating Brock Lesnar in the main event of the show in Puerto Rico. ‘The American Nightmare’ Rhodes took out Lesnar infront of a ecstatic crowd, having started the beating even before the bell went off. Ahead of the match, Rhodes attacked ‘The Beast’ with a steel chair and the steel steps.

“Once the match began, Rhodes continued his attack, but his attempt at a Cody Cutter was countered into a devastating German suplex. Lesnar showed no mercy to The American Nightmare, delivering devastating blows and even tossing Rhodes into an exposed turnbuckle. However, Rhodes turned the tables and sent The Beast face-first into the exposed steel, which resulted in a nasty battle scar for Lesnar.
