The report stated, "Yeah, there's a good shot of this story could go all the way through to SummerSlam, especially if Cody and Roman's not on a table for Ford Field. So Brock is always going to be a big-time matchup unless it's, you know, not to take anything away from Omos but that was a one-time thing. I’d expect Brock to be back at the top of the card at some point, if not main eventing."

It seems WWE was planning a third match between Rhodes and Lesnar. The second match in Saudi Arabia made the fans furious over WWE booking The Beast. Hence, there might be a split opinion among the fans to see a third match.
