Homicide On Cody Rhodes Vs Brock Lesnar At WWE Backlash: 'Cody Could Handle Anybody'

Cody Rhodes has what it takes to win against any pro wrestler out there, according to one former Ring of Honor World Champion. Previewing one of the most anticipated matches at this weekend's WWE Backlash event, indie legend Homicide told 1Wrestling.com that he believes Rhodes can win the grudge match against Brock Lesnar.

"I think Cody could handle anybody," Homicide said. "He's a Rhodes. Look at Dusty and his past. The Rhodes name, something about the name. He's a Rhodes."

Of course, Lesnar isn't just anybody. Yet on Saturday night, Rhodes is looking to not only avenge a shocking beatdown at the hands of "The Beast Incarnate" last month but also prove himself capable of hanging with WWE's top stars after losing his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. And if you ask Homicide, there is a way to take down the ten-time world champion.

"Gotta have heart, can't have no fear," Homicide explained. "They always say take out the knees ... I would say cardio. But Brock is a natural fit when it comes to cardio wrestling, so you never know."

After returning to WWE last April, Rhodes hadn't lost a match until his WrestleMania main event showdown with Reigns. He'll be looking to avoid a second consecutive defeat when he takes on Lesnar, who is coming off a victory over "The Nigerian Giant" Omos at "The Showcase of the Immortals."
