The General Manager of SmackDown, Nick Aldis, has found himself in hot water after allegedly violating a WWE contract. This issue came to light when Drew McIntyre raised concerns just days after the controversial events that unfolded at the Elimination Chamber in Chicago.
McIntyre’s plan to keep Cody Rhodes out of the title scene backfired when he interfered in the Elimination Chamber Match, causing Rhodes to lose. In a surprising turn of events, a disgruntled Nick Aldis officially announced the Undisputed WWE Championship Match between McIntyre and Rhodes for SmackDown this Friday.
However, McIntyre has pointed out that Aldis breached their contract by allowing Rhodes a rematch for the title. According to McIntyre, the contract clearly stated that Rhodes would not receive a rematch unless he won the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber, which he failed to do.
Expressing his frustration in an interview with Complex Graps, McIntyre stated, “It’s BS. It’s as simple as that. I seem to recall there being a certain contract. A little thing I wrote in there. It wasn’t Cody gets a rematch if Drew decides to interfere in every match for the rest of time. He has to win the Royal Rumble. He has to win the Elimination Chamber. He won neither.”
McIntyre further mentioned that he would be consulting with his lawyers to address this breach of contract and avoid facing Rhodes on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. He emphasized his reluctance to face Rhodes, stating, “I said all along, anybody but Cody. I’m in this situation where I’ve got to fight him on Friday. I’m talking to the lawyers, I’m gonna figure it out.”
As the tension between McIntyre and Rhodes escalates, fans are left wondering if McIntyre will lose his Undisputed WWE Championship to Rhodes. Rumors suggest that WWE is considering a match between Rhodes and the winner of the 2026 Elimination Chamber, Randy Orton, at WrestleMania 42. This could potentially mean that McIntyre’s title reign is in jeopardy.
Additionally, there are whispers of a potential match between McIntyre and Fatu at WrestleMania, hinting at a possible title change in the near future. Will the Samoan Werewolf make his presence felt on SmackDown after the Elimination Chamber? Wrestling enthusiasts will have to tune in this Friday to find out the fate of the Undisputed WWE Championship.
In conclusion, the upcoming showdown between McIntyre and Rhodes promises to be a high-stakes battle with significant implications for the WWE landscape. As the drama unfolds, fans can expect an intense rivalry to unfold on SmackDown. Stay tuned for all the action and drama as the storylines continue to evolve in the world of professional wrestling.
