The American Nightmare is once again holding gold in WWE as
Cody Rhodes became a three-time WWE champion last night on
Smackdown, beating Drew McIntyre in the main event of the
show.
The match had a couple of referee bumps and some close calls
when it comes pinfalls and McIntyre was looking at ending
Rhodes once and for all with a chair when Jacob Fatu showed
up out of nowhere and took McIntyre’s chair away. Fatu was
the one who originally cost Rhodes the title against
McIntyre in a Three Stages of Hell match back in January.
The distraction allowed Rhodes to hit a cutter and then his
finisher for the three-count victory.
McIntyre’s run with the title lasted just 56 days and now
looks to be heading into a program with Fatu for
WrestleMania.
As for Rhodes, he will put the title on the line against
Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42 and a contract signing is set
for next week’s Smackdown.
