Drew McIntyre Makes Huge Allegation Against WWE Ahead Of WrestleMania 42
Drew McIntyre recently called out WWE.
When McIntyre challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in a Three Stages of Hell match on the January 9, 2026, episode of SmackDown, he specifically included a clause in the contract stating that The American Nightmare would not receive a rematch for the title.
However, WWE still gave Rhodes a title shot after Elimination Chamber, which led to McIntyre losing the title ahead of WrestleMania 42.
Drew McIntyre Says WWE Is Always Trying To “Screw” Him
The Scottish Warrior recently spoke in an interview with Chris Van Vliet, where he was asked to address the situation.
He responded that the title match on the March 6 episode of SmackDown was technically a legal breach of contract, as Rhodes had neither won the Royal Rumble nor the Elimination Chamber, and therefore did not deserve a title opportunity.
McIntyre added that WWE has wronged him and, in fact, the company is always trying to “screw” him.
“I was under the impression that contracts, not someone’s word. If you’ve looked back at the clips, I literally said I got the clause put in there that Cody Rhodes will not get a title match if he loses against me in Berlin. That was in there in a contract. Those exact words, I said it in London.”
“I said a few times, go back and fact-check, but I definitely said it in London for sure. Then he was in the Royal Rumble, [but] wait a minute, if he wins the Royal Rumble, he’s gonna get a title match. That’s not what the clause says. So I have to fix that, helping Nick out to do his job properly.”
“Suddenly, Elimination Chamber, I had to get in there as well. Wait a minute. It says no title match, not go ahead and win this match, or go ahead and win that match. So all I’m doing is trying to do the right thing. Make them not breach contract. And they still breached the contract, because they’re always screwing Drew McIntyre.”
