I can only assume they realized that they never actually had any particular reason to be fighting.

Felt more like a you earned my respect gesture which Brock has never done with anyone
Big way to put over Cody on top of him beating Lesnar clean

I think tonight was Brock’s version of the Cena/Brock match at Summerslam 2014. I feel like he won’t be much of a threat going forward and will Just be used to put the next big stars over

I’m cool with the showing of respect.
Brock is too over to just be a heel again, so this keeps him face for him to come back next year and kill a heel.

I thought they made lemonade out of lemons being the wack ass song in the promo and there being no reason for Brock to do any of this. Getting that sign of respect from Brock in modern day WWE is nearly as good as winning the biggest match. That is a huge deal.

That was f***ing incredible. Shades of Taker and Jeff Hardy, which, is appropriate considering Brock beat Takers streak.
This is Brock’s role now.

Brock wanted to see if Cody had that DAWG in him, and he passed with flying colors!

I wonder what both men do next. Does Cody go straight into the title picture again or do they give him another monster to slay while he bides his time for mania (maybe Omos or Braun). Brock will probably take a break but I think it would be jolly interesting if he was the final hurdle for GUNTHER to cross to beat the Honkytonk Man's record.

I can only assume they realized that they never actually had any particular reason to be fighting. Yeah... that's the thing with the storyline... we don't really have one? Brock attacked Cody for... reasons and it's never expanded upon....

Per the post-show press conference, Triple H implied that this was not a planned moment at all and Brock was legit showing respect for Cody, kayfabe be damned.

That shit warmed my soul
But like oh my god it's so f***ing funny seeing Lesnar do so much to make Cody look good + protect him if you remember this dude's endless struggle to be patient with Braun Strowman.

If either are cleared, it would be a good time to kill some more time with Cody vs Orton or Bray.

I’m glad they were able shake hands in the middle of the ring to resolve their issues of…
*checks notes, sees blank piece of paper*
…nothing.

It’s cool that the people are eating up mega face Cody for now but I can’t help but feel they are treading a very thin line here where it won’t take much for crowds to turn against him.
