Cody Rhodes attacks Drew McIntyre at his home in WWE social media angle
The Cody Rhodes/Drew McIntyre feud took another turn in a video that aired on social media.
Shortly before Raw went on the air Monday, WWE uploaded a confrontation that took place between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes. It took place shortly after a meeting between McIntyre and SmackDown GM Nick Aldis where McIntyre agreed to return from his suspension as long as he gets to name the stipulation for his and Rhodes’ future WWE Championship match.
The video started with Aldis meeting McIntyre, telling him that despite what happened at Saturday Night’s Main Event, everyone wanted him reinstated. Aldis’ proposal was this: he would give McIntyre a future WWE Championship match against Rhodes. However, the terms would also require McIntyre to be fined and would also have to apologize to referee Dan Engler, who McIntyre attacked prior to getting suspended.
McIntyre initially refused the terms, saying this is what Rhodes and Aldis wanted and complained about SmackDown being an unsafe working environment. After Aldis asked what he wanted, McIntyre said he wanted to pick the stipulation and also added that Rhodes can’t lay a finger on him prior to the match or else he would be stripped of the title. Aldis and McIntyre agreed to the deal under those terms.
Suddenly, McIntyre looked at his phone and saw security footage of Rhodes near his house, with guards blocking his path. Aldis went to argue with Rhodes who suddenly lunged at McIntyre and the two brawled. Rhodes threw one of the security members into a nearby pond and McIntyre threw Rhodes into one of his Christmas decorations.
“Merry Christmas, a******!” Rhodes screamed as the segment ended.
