“I’m a Psychopath” — Drew McIntyre Explodes After Cody Keeps Title via Shocking DQ (Says He’ll Do Whatever It Takes)
Drew McIntyre didn’t hold back after last night’s chaotic SmackDown main event — and his post-match video is equal parts fury, heartbreak and a chilling promise of payback.
Originally, McIntyre was set to face Jacob Fatu in a #1-contender match to earn a shot at Cody Rhodes’ WWE Championship at the November 1 Saturday Night’s Main Event. When Fatu was forced out injured, Drew found himself suddenly thrust into the title match… and the result left him furious.
Cody kept the belt the old-fashioned (for champions) way: he caused a disqualification by using his championship belt as a weapon. Because titles can only change hands on a pinfall or submission, Rhodes walked away with the gold — and McIntyre walked away with nothing but rage.
In a raw video posted from the gym after the show, McIntyre let his emotions pour out. He framed the clip as a kind of therapy, then unloaded:
“Keep the camera on. This is the only way I get therapy, is talking to myself… I don’t know what to do at this point. Time after time after time, this keeps happening.
…Our WWE Champion gives me the match, then he causes a DQ and takes away another opportunity.
My first reaction was, torch his bus. Make sure his family weren’t on it, but torch his bus.”
Those words came wrapped in obvious fury — and McIntyre immediately pivoted to his commitment to the craft and his obsession with the prize:
“I’ve gotta keep going. I can’t give up. I won’t give up. I’m a psychopath… I’m in the gym right now, doing legs, after yesterday. No sleep whatsoever.
I don’t care how many people Corporate Cody’s got behind him, that title’s mine. And I’m gonna get it no matter what it takes. You can’t compete with a psychopath.
I’ve forsaken a family — he’s got a lovely family — for this industry, for that title. It’s the life I’ve chosen. …Next week’s gonna be hell for Cody. And no matter what it takes, I’m gonna have my moment.”
What we saw was equal parts personal hurt and single-minded hunger: a man who has given up normal life for one thing — the championship — and who now feels it was snatched away by gamesmanship.
Takeaways:
• Cody Rhodes used the belt to trigger a DQ, so he retains the title — but the win will sting for McIntyre’s fans.
• Drew’s post-show message is a promise of escalation: expect him to turn up the intensity and refuse to back down.
• The promo wasn’t just heat — it was a window into how much this title means to Drew and how far he’s willing to go.
Bottom line: SmackDown’s main event didn’t settle anything — it lit a fuse. If McIntyre means what he says, the next few weeks between him and Cody are going to be ugly, personal, and must-see TV for anyone who loves high-stakes wrestling drama.
