Following the shocking events of last week’s SmackDown main event, Drew McIntyre addressed the WWE Universe, offering his perspective on the brutal attack on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. McIntyre vehemently denied accusations of aggression, instead portraying Rhodes as the instigator. He challenged the narrative, questioning whether WWE management was concealing Rhodes’ medical condition. To emphasize his point, McIntyre recreated the ringside events, suggesting Rhodes attempted to drive him through the announce table. McIntyre then delved into the personal nature of the rivalry, revealing his past intentions to use Rhodes to obtain a title shot. He issued a chilling 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.” The previous week, McIntyre had attacked Rhodes after a disqualification loss, culminating in a Claymore Kick through the announce table. With Rhodes’ condition uncertain, the WWE Universe awaits his return and Rhodes’ response to McIntyre’s escalating threats.
