During a recent backstage interview on WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre discussed his upcoming match against Cody Rhodes. He labeled Rhodes as self-centered and suggested that despite his previous assault on “The American Nightmare,” Rhodes was actually the underdog in their impending showdown.

Now that McIntyre has secured a spot in the Elimination Chamber, his focus has shifted entirely to Rhodes, as they are scheduled to face off next week. McIntyre warned that if Rhodes doesn’t find a way to back out of the match, he might miss his WrestleMania 40 bout against Roman Reigns, drawing a parallel to CM Punk’s injury sidelining him, possibly caused by a DDT from McIntyre during the Royal Rumble.
