WWE may be preparing to make a major WrestleMania 42 match official, and the latest update suggests that Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu are headed toward a brutal showdown with no rules attached.
The rivalry between McIntyre and Fatu has already turned into one of the most violent feuds heading into WrestleMania season. Their scheduled match on SmackDown never even got started, as the two stars spent the entire show fighting across multiple locations before their chaotic battle ended with both men crashing off an elevated platform outside the arena.
Now, a new report from Bodyslam.net indicates that WWE is preparing to lock in their WrestleMania match, and the stipulation attached to it signals just how dangerous things could get. With WWE authority figure Nick Aldis expected to address the situation on SmackDown, sources say the announcement fans have been waiting for could happen sooner rather than later.
“On last week’s episode of SmackDown, Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu were scheduled to have a match but they brawled with each other throughout the 3 hour show. To close the show, McIntyre and Fatu fell off an elevated platform outside of the arena.”
The fallout from that wild ending is expected to carry directly into WrestleMania planning, and according to the same report, the company is preparing to make their match official with a stipulation that removes all limitations.
“Nick Aldis is expected to provide an update on tonight’s episode of SmackDown. Sources indicate to Bodyslam that Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu is set to be made official for WrestleMania and it will be a match with no rules.”
That potential announcement would mark a major escalation in a feud that has already included smashed windshields, parking lot chaos, and multiple physical altercations that spilled beyond the ring. A no-rules environment would allow both men to take their fight even further, fitting the tone WWE has established with their increasingly dangerous confrontations.
With WrestleMania 42 quickly approaching, all signs now point to this rivalry becoming one of the most physically intense matches on the card once it becomes official on television. If WWE does confirm Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu with no rules at WrestleMania 42, it could easily become one of the most destructive matches of the entire event.
