Drew McIntyre Brutally Attacks Cody Rhodes on WWE SmackDown – Drew McIntyre delivered a vicious statement to WWE Champion Cody Rhodes on the August 8 edition of SmackDown, leaving the titleholder laid out in the closing moments of the show.
The night’s main event saw McIntyre team up with Logan Paul to face John Cena and Rhodes. The bout ended in a disqualification after Paul delivered a low blow to Cena. As Cena and Paul brawled their way backstage, McIntyre found himself alone in the ring with the champion.
Seizing the opportunity, McIntyre blasted Rhodes in the head with the WWE Championship before pausing to stare down the title. His intentions became even clearer when he followed up with a devastating Claymore Kick that sent Rhodes crashing headfirst through the announce table.
This heated encounter comes just days after Rhodes captured the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, defeating Cena in a brutal street fight. McIntyre also enjoyed success at the premium live event, teaming with Logan Paul to score a victory over Jelly Roll and Randy Orton.
Given McIntyre’s actions on SmackDown, speculation is running high that a showdown between Rhodes and McIntyre for the WWE Championship will be added to the August 31 WWE Clash in Paris event.
WWE Clash in Paris already features major matches, and the potential addition of Rhodes vs. McIntyre could make the card one of the most anticipated international events of the year.
