The intense rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre has reached new heights with The Scottish Warrior’s shocking actions on WWE SmackDown. McIntyre took things to a personal level by burning a picture of Rhodes with his late father, the legendary Dusty Rhodes, in the middle of the ring, leaving The American Nightmare feeling helpless.
In response to these events, Cody’s wife Brandi Rhodes has made a heartfelt request. She took to social media to express her desire to have a conversation with Drew McIntyre, hoping to address the escalating tension between the two superstars.
“To get into Cody Rhodes’ head, McIntyre has fired shots at Brandi as well during this rivalry. The bitter rivals will collide in a Three Stages of Hell Match on next week’s SmackDown.”
The upcoming match will consist of three stages – a singles contest, a Falls Count Anywhere match, and a Steel Cage Match if necessary. This high-stakes showdown is expected to bring their feud to a dramatic conclusion, with the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line.
Meanwhile, another WWE superstar made a surprise return on SmackDown as Randy Orton reappeared on television. The Viper wasted no time in making his presence felt by delivering two devastating RKOs to The Miz and then confronting Cody Rhodes backstage.
“Codeman! It’s good to be back. Listen, I’m glad I ran into you. Because out of respect, I need to let you know, now that I’m back in the ring, once you beat Drew McIntyre next week in Berlin, I am coming for the Undisputed WWE Championship,” Randy Orton declared.
The Triple H-led creative team has hinted at a potential feud between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes in the past, but it has yet to materialize. With Orton setting his sights on the championship, all eyes will be on next week’s match to see if Cody Rhodes can retain his title and potentially kickstart a new rivalry with his former mentor.
As the tension continues to rise in the WWE, fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of these intense rivalries and the potential shifts in the championship landscape. Stay tuned for all the latest WWE news and updates from Sportskeeda.
