It is fair to say that the WWE Backlash Match against Brock Lesnar will be the most important match in the career of Cody Rhodes in his current WWE run because when he lost the match at WrestleMania 39 to Roman Reigns it damaged his credibility a bit and he needs to recover soon and there can be no better opponent than Brock Lesnar to make a comeback against. Brock Lesnar is the biggest star in WWE and he is as credible as they come and Cody Rhodes beating Brock will once again have the fans rooting for him.
Triple H was very smart in booking this match immediately after the match at WrestleMania 39 and this is such a huge match that it can main event a WrestleMania. Instead it will be the main event of WWE Backlash and the WWE fans in Puerto Rico will be in for a treat. And the match should be a banger because it features two of the biggest WWE stars not named Roman Reigns.
So, let’s look at why Cody Rhodes needs to beat Brock Lesnar at WWE Backlash:
Cody Rhodes needs to regain credibility

Brock Lesnar is a name that makes anyone in the ring with him more credible and the ones who beat him reach a different level of stardom. So, if Cody Rhodes beats the Best Incarnate then he will back at the Top.
