The feud between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship is going absolutely wild, and in the previous week of SmackDown, the fans witnessed a different chapter of this storyline. It has been going on for quite a long time, and American Nightmare has already defended the Championship multiple times against the Scottish Psychopath.
The duo is definitely heading towards another match, and it is not going to be any normal match, but there will be a strong stipulation to make things exciting. The venue for this upcoming match has not been decided yet, but the fans are expecting it to be booked at the upcoming major event, which is going to be the Royal Rumble.
Drew McIntyre threatens to take the title away from Cody Rhodes
It is also expected to be the final match of this feud. Drew McIntyre is quite confident that he will take the Championship away from Cody Rhodes this time. He even confirmed that this is going to be the final Christmas for the American Nightmare as the Undisputed WWE Champion. During a Digital Exclusive of WWE, the former three times WWE World Champion said the following;
“Cody, Cody, Cody… You tell half truths and lies up and down, but I’ll go into those next time I’m face to face with you. You attacked me in the parking lot a couple of weeks ago, and all I was trying to do was come to work, do my job, and you have the audacity to attack me on my property? You claim to be a company man, the company man, and as a company man, do you show up to people’s houses and attack an innocent civilian?
Cody Rhodes has already defeated Drew McIntyre twice
“No, you’ve lost it, Cody. You’re an animal, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I’m protecting these fans from seeing you rapidly descend into madness and mess this whole thing up for everyone. But soon, you won’t have the upper hand. I will. You’ve admitted I’m the first person who’s broken you. Everyone sees it. Everyone sees that you’re not the QB1 anymore. You’re gonna be riding the bench as soon as a new captain emerges.
“You’re out of control. You’re not good for that championship. You’re not fit for the job, but I am. You escaped as champion last time we faced off because of an inept official. You think I was just gonna forget about that? No, man, I’ll be in Grand Rapids next week. You’ve got a week to think about the rest of your life, Cody. If you lay your hands on me, it’s all over.
This is possibly going to be the last encounter between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre for the title
“The title’s mine. Regardless, once you and I face each other in that ring, the title is gonna be mine anyway. So I hope you have a happy holidays, Cody, you and your family, it will be your last as WWE champion.”
But in reality, the chances are very low that Drew McIntyre would actually be able to take the Championship away from Cody Rhodes. As of now, it has been pretty much clear that Rhodes will not drop the Championship before WrestleMania 42. His championships will only change hands at major events like WrestleMania and SummerSlam. This has been the biggest issue of Triple H's booking so far. The only way to get out of this predictability is to crown McIntyre as champion.
