Following his high-profile victory at SummerSlam, Drew McIntyre has made his next goal abundantly clear: he is coming for Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship. The “Scottish Psychopath” issued a direct challenge to the current champion.
Back on Track to the Championship
In a new interview on the Huge Pop podcast with Donny De-Silva and Jimmy Korderas, McIntyre stated that his primary focus is getting back on track to the WWE Championship. After a series of what he called “side quests,” he is ready to re-enter the main event picture.
“I’m going to go forward and get myself back on track, finally, to that WWE Championship. You mean, yes, taking off the freaking rails… I just keep going for that title, and then I keep getting taken right off here and off here and off here. All I want is my precious. To get that title run in front of live fans.”
“Desperate For Attention”
McIntyre then turned his attention directly to Cody Rhodes. He criticized what he perceives as Rhodes’ desperation to be liked by the fans and suggested that perhaps it’s time for the champion to be taught “the hard way” about the realities of the wrestling world.
“Back on SmackDown where it’s a WWE Championship, the title I helped during the pandemic the entire time, the title I won, the guy that’s got, it’s the one I want to beat for Cody Rhodes, 20 year you know, relationship with him and I former tag team champions as kids, former chosen ones, I guess for the future, John Chosen Ones had to choose ourselves, but different destinations we’re at right now, where I open my eyes to the truth about so many things that he’s so desperate to be like, so desperate for attention. I wonder if they want to take the title off him and teach him the hard way the reality of the wrestling world, the reality of the world, because he’s still in the mindset I was in in 2020. So I’m excited possibly getting my hands on him.”
