Drew McIntyre vs. Cody Rhodes Set for Three Stages of Hell Title Match on Jan. 9 SmackDown in Berlin

McIntyre exercised his stipulation choice after fulfilling Aldis’s disciplinary demands.

Overview

  • SmackDown GM Nick Aldis granted McIntyre an Undisputed WWE Championship rematch and gave him authority to choose the stipulation.
  • McIntyre paid his fine and delivered a sarcastic apology to referee Dan Engler before intensifying the segment with personal insults.
  • Cody Rhodes was warned he would be stripped of the title if he struck McIntyre, a restriction McIntyre pressed with a remark about Rhodes’ late father.
  • After Rhodes shoved Aldis, McIntyre ended the confrontation by dropping the champion with a Claymore.
  • WWE has not yet revealed the three individual stages for the match, while a separate Baltimore live event saw Rhodes defeat McIntyre in a No Disqualification bout.
