As WrestleMania 40 approaches, Cody Rhodes takes center stage, headlining Night 2 of the prestigious event. The Road to WrestleMania sees him gearing up for a significant match on RAW, where he is set to face a formidable opponent, a six-time champion, in the lead-up to The Grandest Stage of Them All.
In the previous week on the red brand, Cody Rhodes secured another victory, this time in a Bull Rope match against Shinsuke Nakamura.
However, the celebratory moment was short-lived as Drew McIntyre made a post-match appearance, launching an attack on Rhodes to make a bold statement. Sami Zayn intervened to come to Rhodes’ aid, adding another layer of intrigue to the developing storyline.
This week on RAW, the six-time champion Drew McIntyre, in a backstage announcement, declared his upcoming showdown with Cody Rhodes.
The match is slated to take place on the RAW episode preceding Elimination Chamber 2024, with McIntyre vowing to make Rhodes miss WrestleMania, reminiscent of his actions towards CM Punk.
Drew McIntyre has been a captivating presence on WWE TV since his heel turn in November 2023. Acknowledging the evolution of his character, McIntyre openly expressed his preference for the current persona over his previous iterations.
The uncertainty surrounding McIntyre’s contract status adds an additional layer of intrigue, with reports suggesting that his deal is set to expire shortly after WrestleMania 40.
The urgency of the matter leaves fans speculating on whether a re-signing agreement with WWE is imminent, and hopes are high that it will be treated as a top priority by the company.
As negotiations unfold, the possibility remains that McIntyre might be evaluating his options or waiting for a more satisfactory deal before committing to an extension with the company.
