🔥 “You’re Riding the Bench Now” – Drew McIntyre Goes Nuclear on Cody Rhodes in Brutal New WWE Video
Drew McIntyre isn’t just coming for Cody Rhodes’ title — he’s coming for his identity as WWE’s top guy. After last night’s explosive episode of WWE SmackDown, the Undisputed WWE Champion agreed to Drew’s dangerous demands. McIntyre now gets to choose the stipulation for their title rematch, and in a massive twist, Cody is forbidden from touching Drew before the match. One wrong move, and Rhodes loses everything.
But that wasn’t enough for the Scottish Warrior.
WWE has now dropped a must-watch digital exclusive, and McIntyre absolutely eviscerates the champion — verbally and mentally — in one of his coldest promos yet.
😤 “You’re a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”
McIntyre wasted no time ripping into what he calls the real Cody Rhodes.
According to Drew, the smiling, suit-wearing “company man” persona is a lie. He accused Rhodes of telling half-truths, playing the victim, and completely losing control behind the scenes. McIntyre even brought up the now-infamous parking lot incident, claiming Cody crossed a line by attacking him unprovoked.
In Drew’s eyes, Rhodes isn’t a hero anymore — he’s a ticking time bomb.
“You’ve lost it, Cody,” McIntyre snarled, branding the champion as an “animal” pretending to be a leader while spiraling into chaos. Drew framed himself as the man protecting WWE and its fans from watching their so-called top star implode.
🧠 “I’m the First One Who Broke You”
Then came the line that set the internet buzzing.
McIntyre boldly declared that he’s the first person to truly break Cody Rhodes, and he believes everyone can see it now. With a savage sports metaphor, Drew told the champion:
“You’re not the QB1 anymore. You’re riding the bench.”
According to McIntyre, Cody’s days as the unquestioned leader of WWE are over. He accused Rhodes of being unfit to carry the championship, claiming the only reason Cody survived their last encounter was because of a terrible referee decision.
And trust him — Drew hasn’t forgotten.
🎄 A Dark Holiday Warning
McIntyre confirmed he’ll be at SmackDown next week in Grand Rapids, and he left Cody with a chilling warning.
If Rhodes lays a single hand on him before the match, it’s over — the title changes hands instantly. But even if Cody behaves, Drew says the ending is inevitable.
In perhaps his most ruthless moment, McIntyre closed with a holiday message dripping in menace, telling Cody to enjoy Christmas with his family — because it will be his last one as WWE Champion.
⏰ What’s Next?
Next week’s SmackDown (airing December 26) is already loaded with tension, and with McIntyre holding all the cards, Cody Rhodes is walking on thin ice.
One touch.
One mistake.
One broken rule.
And Drew McIntyre promises to take the crown — and the throne — for good.
