The Bloodline’s Wild Card Just Ruined Drew McIntyre’s WrestleMania Dream
The road to WrestleMania just hit a massive speed bump for Drew McIntyre. We all know the Scottish Warrior is set to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes this Friday night on SmackDown. It’s a massive fight made official by Nick Aldis after McIntyre threw a wrench in the Elimination Chamber works this past weekend.
But here is where the story gets juicy, and it might end in disaster for the champion.
With Randy Orton punching his ticket to Vegas by winning the Chamber, he’s currently slated to face the champion at WrestleMania 42. However, if Cody manages to dethrone Drew on Friday, that main event instantly transforms into a blockbuster clash between two of the biggest legends in the business: Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton.
That scenario leaves Drew McIntyre out in the cold, and according to wrestling insider Sam Roberts, there is one man waiting in the shadows to make sure that happens.
The “Samoan Werewolf” is Ready to Strike
On a special post-Elimination Chamber episode of Notsam Wrestling, Roberts laid out a compelling theory that involves the most terrifying member of The Bloodline right now: Jacob Fatu.
Roberts predicts that Fatu—a two-time champion in his own right—will interfere in the title match on SmackDown. Not necessarily to destroy Drew, but to simply tip the scales.
Imagine this: a slight distraction, a subtle trip when the referee isn’t looking, or just enough chaos to allow “The American Nightmare” to seize the moment and steal the victory.
If that happens, the ripple effect for WrestleMania would be seismic. According to Roberts, the plan could be to pivot to a personal, bitter grudge match between a furious Drew McIntyre and a predator like Jacob Fatu in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the main event scene would be left to Rhodes and Orton to battle over the gold.
It’s the perfect storm. McIntyre, robbed of his moment by The Bloodline’s new enforcer, would have no choice but to go to war. It keeps the top stars on the card, elevates Fatu, and creates a singles match built on pure rage.
Will Drew McIntyre walk out of SmackDown still holding the gold, or is Jacob Fatu about to become the architect of a new WrestleMania main event?
