Cody Rhodes(c) vs. Drew McIntyre For WWE Undisputed Championship At SNME, Prediction and Match Preview

A culmination of a deeply personal and psychologically intense feud between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre will enter its final phase at SNME. Cody Rhodes will put his WWE Undisputed title on the line against Drew McIntyre at SNME. The drama has magnified exponentially after a stipulation was added to the contract: Cody Rhodes would lose his title if he got disqualified or counted out.

Cody Rhodes, frustrated by Drew McIntyre’s mind game, used his championship belt on him and intentionally got disqualified a few weeks back. The match ended in a DQ, but Cody Rhodes retained the title. This fueled Drew McIntyre’s claim that Cody Rhodes would go to any length to keep his title reign intact.

Drew McIntyre not only forced Cody Rhodes to get himself disqualified, but he also made sure the latter walked straight into a Claymore the next week and the week after that.

Drew McIntyre left the ring only to come back later and Claymore Cody Rhodes.
