Drew McIntyre’s First SmackDown As WWE Champion Takes A Wild Turn

WWE’s Road to Royal Rumble continued with the company’s European tour, which moved from Germany to London, England, where Friday Night SmackDown takes place live from the Wembley Arena.

Tonight’s episode will have the Undisputed WWE Championship in focus as the night features four matches, the winners of which will go to Saturday Night’s Main Event, where they’ll face each other in a number one contender’s fatal-four-way match.

The newly crowned Undisputed WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre, kicked off tonight’s show as he celebrated his big win in front of his own British crowd, who serenaded him throughout the time he was out.

Randy Orton comes face-to-face with Drew McIntyre on WWE SmackDown

Drew was out gloating about his win and revealed that while Cody Rhodes might be waiting for a rematch for his title, there will be no rematch for him, as he had Nick Aldis add the condition in their championship match contract.

The new champion was then interrupted by Randy Orton, who is set to compete in the number one contender’s tournament later. He stated that he’s beaten him for the title before and will do so again, but before Drew could respond, Jacob Fatu made his way down the ring.

Fatu went straight after McIntyre, but he managed to escape from the Werewolf. Orton was enjoying seeing Drew run from Fatu, and was caught off-guard by The Miz, who caught him with a Skull Crushing Finale.
