Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar Brock Lesnar 3 picks · 15%
Result: Cody Rhodes wins +1 point
The Tocc picked Cody Rhodes

I assume all of this is ultimately building to Cody getting another shot at the title, and winning. Maybe at SummerSlam. But this feud with Lesnar could stretch out first. I'd think Brock would win this opener, but he already smashed Rhodes on Raw, so this could be some quick payback, allowing Rhodes to go through a few more top guys and build his credibility with everyone who can't forget Star Dust.

The Tocc picked Rhea Ripley Lock +1

It's like when they throw a steak to a lion. Except this lion has lots of tattoos and facial accessories. Rhea may actually pierce some new part of her body with Zelina in this match, and wear her home.

Bronson Reed Bronson Reed 0 picks · 0%
Result: Austin Theory wins +1 point
The Tocc picked Austin Theory

I don't see Bronson Reed with a much brighter future than Veer Mahaan or Commander Azeez or any other character who isn't quite intimidating enough to offset a lack of depth. I'd say Lashley spears him, and Theory swoops in for a pin.
