Cody Rhodes can’t seem to catch a breath with Drew McIntyre.

The feud between him and the Scottish Warrior intensified after McIntyre attacked Rhodes in his bus during a live WWE SmackDown taping a few weeks ago.

McIntyre was suspended for his actions, but Rhodes almost got his hands on the 40-year-old after he tried to enter the arena before being escorted by general manager Nick Aldis.

Rhodes subsequently brought the fight to McIntyre’s doorstep, literally, when he showed up at his house while Aldis was trying to negotiate a deal with him and get him reinstated upon Cody’s request.

On the latest episode of the blue brand, Drew again got the best of Rhodes when he goaded him to attack him, which would have resulted in The American Nightmare losing his title, as per the conditions.

The segment ended with Drew McIntyre hitting a Claymore Kick on Cody Rhodes, leaving him laid out.

A 3 Stages of Hell match has been announced between the two for the Undisputed WWE Championship during the January 9 taping in Berlin.

Drew McIntyre Lashes Out At Cody Rhodes’ Family During WWE Event

Before kicking off 2026, WWE has been organizing a Holiday Tour across America.

During a show in Baltimore, Drew McIntyre was scheduled to compete in a title match against Cody Rhodes, with his family in attendance.

The Scot lashed out at the company’s executives, stating that despite getting a match in Berlin, he was forced to compete earlier in the United States.

He then went off on an unabashed rant targeting Brandi Rhodes’ family members who were sitting in the front row during the event.

McIntyre spoke to Brandi’s mother.

I have a question for you. You always watch SmackDown, right? You gotta check out Cody every week, so you watch the show, SmackDown. And I know what you’re thinking when you watch SmackDown. You’re thinking, ‘My God, that tall, handsome Scottish guy makes me real weak in the knees every week.’ I know what you really thinking. You’re thinking ‘I wish my daughter married Drew instead of Cody.’

Hey, you can’t touch me, man. You can’t do a thing about this, or they’ll strip you of the title. So for the grand finale, I don’t have to do anything. I’m gonna leave Detroit, and I’m gonna win the title in Berlin. Good night, everybody.
