Drew McIntyre: Nick Aldis Is Too Hotheaded to Be a General Manager, I Can Drop Him on His Ass at Any Second
Drew McIntyre wants to know how Cody Rhodes is fighting for the gold.
On the March 6 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, it’ll be a huge WWE Championship main event between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes following events that transpired at the Elimination Chamber.
However, McIntyre is heated and does not understand why his contract was breached that ensured Rhodes could never challenge for the gold as long as McIntyre was the champion. He spoke more about this with Complex Grap.
“It’s BS. It’s as simple as that. I seem to recall there being a certain contract, it wasn’t Cody gets a rematch if Drew decides to interfere in every match for the rest of time. It says Cody gets no rematch, he has to win the Royal Rumble, he has to win the Elimination Chamber, he won neither. The small print didn’t say beside that if Drew does this or if Drew gets involved in a match. Nick Aldis, that hooligan, made the match, breached a contract and I’m currently figuring out how this match is even happening in the first place. I said all along, anybody but Cody. I’m in this situation where I’ve got to fight him on Friday. I’m talking to the lawyers, I’m gonna figure it out. You saw what happened with Nick — he’s too hotheaded to be a GM, he gets in my face and rips off his jacket. I mean, I’m 6”5 and 280, I can drop him on his arse any second. Imagine it’s one of the little guys, which is basically 80% the rest of the roster. Imagine it’s one of the females in that situation. Somebody like that in power, somebody like that protecting Cody. As far as I’m concerned, it’s BS. It’s the same old story, trying to screw Drew McIntyre. Whatever happens on Friday, I’m gonna make sure I leave that match with this championship and head into WrestleMania as champion.”
The winner will face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42 for the WWE Championship, who won the 2026 men’s Elimination Chamber match when he pinned Rhodes after interference from McIntyre.
