Brock Lesnar took Cody Rhodes to suplex city at WWE Backlash 2023. The Beast delivered eight suplexes to the 2023 Royal Rumble winner. The San Juan crowd started chanting “suplex city” as soon as Lesnar hit the first suplex on his opponent.

The company kept the match short because that’s what they do with Brock Lesnar matches. The WWE Backlash 2023 main event lasted for about 12 minutes. Lesnar was busted in the middle of the match after Cody Rhodes reversed his offense by sending him straight into an exposed turnbuckle.

The crowd gave quite an ovation to the site of a busted-wide-open Brock Lesnar. Cody Rhodes capitalized on the opportunity by delivering a Cody Cutter on his Backlash opponent. He followed his offense with a disaster kick.

The closing moments of the match saw Lesnar grab Cody for a kimura lock. Rhodes used his own body weight to pin Lesnar’s shoulder to the mat, getting the win in the main event of WWE Backlash 2023.
