Drew McIntyre wants to face “anybody but Cody Rhodes” at WWE WrestleMania 42
While appearing on Busted Open Radio, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre was asked who he wants to face at WrestleMania 42. Here was McIntyre’s response…
“Anybody but Cody Rhodes.
[Why?] I’m concerned, considering how the first two matches went — with the referees bailing him out — and then the cage match. I won. And obviously people say, ‘Oh, it was because of Jacob [Fatu].’ Was it, though?
I haven’t said this because I don’t have to, but Jacob said it himself — wasn’t Drew on his way out of the cage when I got there? I didn’t just overcome Cody. I overcame Cody and Jacob.
And I can’t get the title back on Cody, where he’s protected again, back in the golden boy spot. I liberated this title for everybody — but mostly me — because I believe I’m the man who needs to carry it forward into the future to make SmackDown feel the way it feels right now.
Not sunshine, lollipops, shaking hands, and kissing babies — unpredictable and dangerous, the way it should be.”
