Drew McIntyre Thinks Cody Rhodes Feud Is A “Money Story”
Drew McIntyre thinks there’s money to be had in a feud with Cody Rhodes.
For a brief time in 2010 when both men were only a few years into their WWE careers, Rhodes and McIntyre briefly formed an alliance. At the time, Cody was using his ‘Dashing’ gimmick, and when he and McIntyre got together, they became known as The Dashing Ones.
The pair won the titles at that year’s Night of Champions and held them for a few months before losing to the even more mismatched pair of David Otunga and John Cena at Bragging Rights that October before dissolving their partnership.
In the years since then, both McIntyre and Rhodes have left WWE and carved their own paths outside the company while they were away.
“That’s a money story down the line” – Drew McIntyre on a feud with Cody Rhodes
During a recent appearance on Under The Ring, McIntyre was asked about the possibility of a match between the two, something that has never happened before.
The Scottish Warrior touched on the two having similar journeys before saying that the story would be “money,” although he wants to leave it until the right time.
“We [McIntyre & Rhodes] were the Tag Team Champions, we were both about 24, The Dashing Ones. A lot of people forget that but yeah, similar journeys.
“We got The Dashing Ones thing and there’s lots of other story elements and things that weren’t even on TV that can be touched upon.
“That’s a money story down the line and when the time is right. I don’t even wanna think about touching that until the time is right but, it’ll be a big deal when it happens.”
For now, McIntyre has enough on his hands as he prepares to face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam on August 5th.
