Drew McIntyre Blasts Cody Rhodes, Says WWE Fans Are “Sick of the Reruns”

Drew McIntyre isn’t holding back when it comes to his championship ambitions — and he’s putting Cody Rhodes directly in his crosshairs.

Speaking with Adam Glyn on the Adam’s Apple YouTube channel, McIntyre made it clear that he’s gunning for the Undisputed WWE Championship and believes the time has come for a changing of the guard.

“Well, putting in the time, putting in the work, getting screwed over left and right. Let’s just say the winds have changed. The winds of change are blowing through WWE. All these big deals, these billion dollar deals. I think we need a new champion. We’re sick of the reruns of Cody reruns. Let’s get Drew McIntyre front and center, finally.”

McIntyre also addressed his long-standing frustration with WWE’s major UK events, pointing to his championship losses at both Clash at the Castle shows. He says those setbacks only fuel his determination to finally take the top prize.

“Take another one, a redo. Since the Clash at the Castle has never been kind to me, [I’ve been] screwed in front of my people twice… I just want that match. When Cody decides to show it back up, I want that title, and let’s start a new era.”

The Scottish Warrior is reportedly set to face Rhodes at next month’s WrestlePalooza, and if his latest comments are any indication, fans could be witnessing the start of an intense new rivalry at the top of WWE.
