Nick Aldis Asks Former WWE Champion To Leave SmackDown

WWE SmackDown was set to begin with Drew McIntyre’s address to the North Carolina crowd, but they were instead treated to Cody Rhodes attacking the champion.

Cody then addressed the WWE Universe and had some strong words for McInyre after the Scottish Warrior eliminated Rhodes from the Royal Rumble, despite not being part of the match.

He was visibly irate at the start of the show and acted uncharacteristically when he attacked Drew, and it ended up costing him later in the night.
