WWE SmackDown Adds New Stipulation to SNME World Title Match
WWE has officially added a new stipulation to the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night’s Main Event. This decision marks a pivotal change in the dynamic of their ongoing rivalry.
Background of the Rivalry
Drew McIntyre has been a persistent challenger for Rhodes’ championship title. His pursuit of the belt intensified after an aggressive attack incapacitated Rhodes following McIntyre’s victory at SummerSlam. This incident set the stage for their confrontations over the last few months.
Despite an initial defeat at Wrestlepalooza, McIntyre was presented with another opportunity. However, controversy arose when Jacob Fatu was mysteriously attacked backstage, clearing McIntyre’s path for a title shot against Rhodes. Upset by this tactic, Rhodes hastily organized a title match, which ended in disqualification after he struck McIntyre with the championship belt.
Contract Signing on WWE SmackDown
The contract signing for their upcoming match took place during the most recent episode of WWE SmackDown. Rhodes, eager to finalize the arrangements, quickly signed the contract. However, McIntyre had other plans.
New Stipulation Imposed
During the signing, McIntyre insisted on an added stipulation. He demanded assurance that he would not lose the title due to a non-finish scenario. His challenge led to Rhodes agreeing that if he were disqualified or counted out during their impending match, he would forfeit the championship.
What’s Next?
This stipulation adds significant pressure for Rhodes as he heads into Saturday Night’s Main Event. With the stakes higher than ever, fans can expect an intense showdown between these two competitors.
- Event: Saturday Night’s Main Event
