Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar are set to clash at WWE Backlash.
The match was confirmed on the April 17 episode of WWE Raw after Adam Pearce made it official. Pearce made the bout official in an attempt to sway Cody Rhodes from attacking Lesnar, who came out to confront him on the stage. Rhodes still proceeded to try and attack Lesnar, but he was stopped by a swarm of security guards.

Throughout the entire duration of the segment, Lesnar just laughed at Rhodes while he was trying to attack him. 'The Beast' ended up walking away from the segment unscathed.
The feud between two the biggest stars in WWE began after Lesnar attacked Rhodes on the April 3 episode of WWE Raw before a scheduled tag team match against The Bloodline (Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa). During that beat down, Lesnar delivered numerous F-5's to Rhodes, including one through the announce table and one onto a set of steel ring steps.
