WWE enthusiasts are buzzing over Drew McIntyre’s playful dig at Cody Rhodes, setting the stage for anticipation ahead of this week’s RAW episode. The adrenaline-fueled Elimination Chamber 2024 unfolded yesterday at Perth, Australia’s Optus Stadium, igniting fervor among fans.
McIntyre, known as the Scottish Warrior, has emerged as a formidable heel within the WWE ranks.
His spirits soared when CM Punk succumbed to a torn triceps during the men’s Royal Rumble, positioning himself for the challenging men’s Elimination Chamber clash alongside seasoned contenders Randy Orton, LA Knight, Logan Paul, Kevin Owens, and Bobby Lashley.
In a pivotal moment, McIntyre capitalized on United States Champion Logan Paul’s retaliatory strike against Randy Orton, seizing the victory.
His triumph now propels him toward a headline clash against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL.
Taking to social media ahead of RAW, McIntyre unleashed a bold jest, suggesting a perk for defeating Cody Rhodes by sharing a video of celebratory fireworks post his Elimination Chamber triumph.
In a witty quip, he wrote, “When you beat Cody you also get a portion of his pyro budget,” referring to his previous victory over The American Nightmare on the previous RAW episode, facilitated by The Bloodline’s interference.

The WWE universe erupted on X (formerly Twitter), echoing their delight over McIntyre’s playful banter.
Fans showered praise on the Elimination Chamber match victor, commending his charismatic humor, and hailed him as the quintessential heel champion the audience craves.
In a recent turn of events, McIntyre cheekily taunted wrestling icon The Rock on social media following the latter’s WWE return.
Amidst speculation of headlining WrestleMania 40 against Roman Reigns, The Rock’s pivot to align with The Bloodline in response to fan backlash spurred McIntyre’s jest.
Sharing a snippet showcasing his acting prowess, McIntyre teased infiltrating Hollywood to disrupt the industry, akin to The Rock’s groundbreaking transition from wrestling to cinema.
As a two-time WWE Champion whose reigns unfolded during the pandemic, McIntyre’s ambition to seize the World Heavyweight Championship before a live audience at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia adds an intriguing dynamic to his evolving narrative.
