WWE announced yesterday that WWE champion Cody Rhodes will
battle Drew McIntyre in a Three Stages of Hell match for the
title on the January 9 episode of Smackdown from Berlin,
Germany.
The Three Stages of Hell match is essentially a two-out-of-
three falls match with each fall a different stipulation.
The first one to two falls will be declared the winner of
the match.
Rhodes, who was not able to put his hands on McIntyre or
else he would be stripped of his WWE championship, attempted
to do just that but was prevented by Nick Aldis after
McIntyre told him that when he tortures him and sends him to
hell in Berlin, he should say hello to his dad for him.
McIntyre ended the program by flattening Rhodes with a
Claymore Kick.
