Drew McIntyre Sleeps Like a Champion After WWE Title Win on SmackDown

Drew McIntyre didn’t just walk out of WWE SmackDown in Berlin as champion — he slept like one, too.

Shortly after his shocking victory over Cody Rhodes in a brutal 3 Stages of Hell match on the January 9, 2026 edition of SmackDown, the new Undisputed WWE Champion took to Instagram to share a photo that instantly blew up online.

In the now-viral pic, McIntyre is seen tucked into bed, eyes closed, peacefully clutching the WWE title — and fans are absolutely loving it.

The post, simply shared without a caption, captured the raw emotion of the moment: a wrestler who’s fought tooth and nail for years, finally getting to rest with the gold in his arms.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. McIntyre’s win came after a match that went from standard rules to falls count anywhere to a steel cage finale — complete with a returning Jacob Fatu destroying both men. Still, McIntyre managed to crawl out of the cage to win his fourth World Title.

Now, the image of Drew in bed with the championship has become the post-match cherry on top. Fans in the comments are calling it “justice,” “well-deserved,” and “the most wholesome thing ever.”

SmackDown may have ended in chaos, but Drew McIntyre is finally sleeping easy — and he’s got the title to prove it.
