To start off Raw, Brock Lesnar ambushed Cody Rhodes. Lesnar threw a keg against Rhodes’ arm and throughout the night, Rhodes refused medical attention. At the end of the show, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque came to sit down with him and stated that Cody is afraid that a doctor will tell him his arm is broken and he can’t compete at Night of Champions. After Rhodes once again refused to acknowledge the injury, Levesque smiled and patted Rhodes on the back.
