Drew McIntyre Sends Stark Warning to Cody Rhodes on SmackDown

Drew McIntyre presented his side of the story on SmackDown, denying responsibility for attacking Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. He countered the accusations, claiming Rhodes was the initial aggressor. McIntyre challenged the existing narrative. He acted out the moments at ringside to demonstrate how Rhodes had supposedly attempted to send him through the announce table. McIntyre expressed his personal motives in the feud, revealing that he had once encouraged Rhodes to win the title, with the intention of eventually taking it himself. He issued a severe warning: “You made the first move, but your biggest mistake was… Cody Rhodes is so good at pissing people off, Drew McIntyre is so good at taking people out. If you provoke me, I will do very, very violent things. If you provoke me, I’m the real nightmare. Get well soon.” Last week, following a disqualification loss to Rhodes, McIntyre attacked the champion and ended by sending him through the announce table with a Claymore Kick. WWE has not released an official update on Rhodes’ condition or a timeline for his return. The WWE Universe is left wondering about the champion’s status and anticipating his retaliation against McIntyre. The stage is set for more violence.
