- Cody Rhodes sent a message to Brock Lesnar as he told his WWE Backlash opponent to pick a body part to scar; he looked back on beating Seth Rollins with a torn pectoral at WWE Hell in a Cell 2022 and said he'd essentially do the same when he faces Lesnar. When Finn Balor interrupted and tried to convince Cody to join The Judgment Day, Rhodes turned him down and challenged him to a match.
