00:00...bwarted by Drew McIntyre.
00:03Is the third time a charm for Cody Rhodes?
00:08Or will McIntyre have his way once again tonight?
00:59I'll see you next time.
01:21He is absolutely locked in now, but Drew was trying to avoid this.
01:29This championship match, claiming to the likes of it being a conspiracy against it, pleading with Nick Aldis, the general
01:37manager, to call it off.
01:40Back on January 9th, when he survived the epic war with Cody, the three stages of hell to take this
01:47throne.
01:48And now here they are a couple months later, beating again.
01:53Joe, the stakes have never been higher.
01:55They're the biggest prize in the game, augmented by personal animosity, magnified further by entry to the main event of
02:08Wrestlemania.
02:10It all hangs in the balance right here tonight.
02:40Later.
02:58Molem!
02:58Boing, boing, boing, boing.
02:58Championship Nukem...
02:59Chaos Ukraine...
02:59TroWhy...
03:09Trporter Nukem...
03:15be the second defense of the title for drew his first match since successfully defending
03:23at royal rumble against sammy zane of course we have seen plenty of through though the constant
03:31interfering in matches and moments and that is why this was ordered for the official introductions
03:41here's mark back
03:47the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the undisputed wwe championship
03:57in this contest the only way to win is by pinfall or submission introducing first the challenger
04:08from atlanta georgia laying in at 222 pounds the american nightmare cody rome
04:23and his opponent from air scotland weighing in at 285 pounds he is the undisputed wwe champion drew
04:41mcintyre
05:07that is what is on the line wwe undisputed championship
05:12after our final commercial break of the night next
05:21we spoke to cody rhodes earlier today we asked him about his mindset and prep for this unexpected
05:27last chance at wrestlemania as you see drew mcintyre you know oh and cody's going out to
05:34meet him and slams him right into the video board well true is absolutely irate that he's been put
05:40in this position by general manager nick aldis it is unheard of for a champion to have been treated
05:46this way but nick aldis has been at breaking point cause mcintyre an outlaw champion here on
05:54smackdown well his latest disruption at elimination chamber after multiple interferences prior to that
06:03cost all this to make that decision roads is all over drew on the outside i mean let's face it
06:09mcintyre
06:09has has dealt with the same issues himself and his career go back to the bloodline cn punk
06:15danian priest derailing mcintyre's career well the focus has been oh man and this is getting out
06:23and right from the word go such is the bitter animosity between these two you can see how much
06:31cody's just been waiting to get hands on drew grabbing that drink throwing it right in his face
06:37you go back to what happened at royal rumbled coding shockingly eliminated by drew put a claim
06:43error out of nowhere you know what happened at elimination chamber well cody was the runner-up and
06:48drew hit him with the title right in the head but he's got to be careful not to let emotion
06:54rule his
06:55thinking here the hot start here from cody roads all over mcintyre and mcintyre is getting swarmed by
07:04the former and maybe soon to be wwe we were getting into the conversation about cody's mindset what he said
07:12to us earlier he said i can't be the golden boy if i don't have the gold and he can
07:19reclaim gold
07:20tonight well in 2026 cody roads is undeniably the biggest star in this industry but it's true
07:28he looks incomplete without gold it's true able to nail him with that kick and i don't care what your
07:36last name is i don't care what you've done over the past five years i don't care how many t
07:41-shirts
07:41you sell nobody has a divine right to be wwe champ nobody has a divine right to be in the
07:50main event
07:51of wrestlemania cody's gonna have to do this the hard way now drew doing some damage here to roads
07:58well he rode out that early storm and this is where the power and intensity of mcintyre starts to tell
08:08world that we're bringing you this undisputed championship match commercial free wow
08:26cody's got a major shoulder issue kicking in here it appears but there is no letter whatsoever from
08:34mcintyre oh good reversal by cody cody needed that cody needed some breathing room
08:46cody revving that engine oh but he's met by a big right hand from drew just expert timing from
08:53mcintyre right to the left temple of cody roads and second time is a charm their head first into the
09:01steel
09:06and now the spine taking a pounding for good measure too
09:15bringing him up to that top step oh that hard reinforced edge of the ring apron man i don't know
09:25if that was lumbar spine or tailbone but whatever it was in a sense thunderbolts up and down the entire
09:33frame of cody roads and he may have trouble standing after that how about that look
09:41on the scottish warrior mcintyre has cody right where he wants him now begrudgingly involved in this title
09:51defense but cody is not going to give up
09:57roads able to block that punch series of attacks and then drew delivers the big back elbow into the cover
10:04well physically speaking mcintyre is just a mismatch to almost anybody in the entirety of wwe 280 pounds
10:16of angry scotsman of course there is a physical freak and an all-time great who awaits randy orton
10:25opened up this evening saying that next week he's going to sign that contract
10:29goes flex for wrestlemania and he doesn't care if it's true or cody
10:35he's out for world championship number 15
10:42drew has been in control here
10:46but he's trying to rally back
10:48drew just looks so domineering in there it's been a very different drew mcintyre over the past 18
10:55months or so clearly no decks to which he will not stoop to maintain a stranglehold at the very top
11:03here in
11:03wwe yeah we saw that for months and months before they even went at it in germany
11:09back on january 9th when drew defeated cody in three stages of hell to take this undisputed championship
11:23cody smart to follow drew there through into the corner yeah cody clearly the quicker man here
11:30using mcintyre's momentum against him got into a brief trade war and thought better of it and now
11:37it's cody swinging this back at his own balance yeah the speed and the timing a snap power slam
11:43and now cody rhodes trying to find his rhythm as he's done so many times before the cody cutter
11:52and a glassy eye drew mcintyre now in real peril here
11:59and you can hear this crowd in portland giving support to cody rhodes the american nightmare
12:08looking for crossroads
12:11a natural simply too much left in the tank knew the danger got the hell out of there while he
12:17still could
12:21oh and just driving cody's left forearm and shoulder into the post and now getting to work
12:28on that target yeah not a good position to be in with mcintyre a tug of war is a game
12:34he's always going
12:35to win and that steel ring post again colliding with the frame of cody rhodes and now it seems
12:42mcintyre has a target that left arm and elbow of cody rhodes look at that torque and that position
12:49he has it in the damage that continues to be done to that left arm of cody rhodes mcintyre is
12:57a thug
12:57at times he is absolutely devastated but he is a real technician a student of the game and when he
13:04knows
13:05there's a weakness he is going to attack to return right here you can see cody reaching for that left
13:13arm
13:15big crowd here in portland the moda center we are just six weeks away from wrestlemania 42. the big
13:23question who will be opposite randy orton look at this hole there it's almost that kimura-esque type move
13:33here can pop a shoulder with ease doing that trying to sink those body shots in just to create
13:40some separation is cody rhodes looking for any kind of oh my god that arm right across the knees and
13:49now
13:50bending it back and nearly 280 pounds driving down with such force and what i liked about that from
13:58mcintyre he drove those knees into the arm most people they would go for the pin knowing full well
14:05the consequences of winning this match not mcintyre he knows how good cody is he knows you have to be
14:11extra special and you have to go the extra mile to put cody away
14:18and now drew mcintyre admiring his work and pointing to the wrestlemania sign yeah this is not the time
14:27for gloating save that until you have won the match or else cody rose will bounce back cody quick to
14:36meet
14:36true up on top of the rope
14:41and this is dangerous territory for anybody to find themselves in
14:47and a severely weakened cody rhodes perhaps even more so what a scene here in portland after
14:52everything these two have gone through all the recent drama nobody saw this match coming but what
15:00happened in chicago forced the hand of general manager nick aldis to take action and here we are
15:07oh superplex cody rose
15:12somehow powering up the massive frame of mcintyre despite the arm injury that cody sustained take
15:21another look at the impact down the spine of mcintyre bouncing a foot in the air on impact and that's
15:29what it's all about that was one shot the wwe championship and the wrestlemania sign two times
15:36that was earned by cody rhodes now it's been around the waist of drew mcintyre whoever possesses it at
15:43the end of this night will be up against the viper randy orton at wrestlemania figure four is locked in
15:51and now agony etched in the eyeballs of drew mcintyre physical pain is wanting the pain of losing gold
16:00and wrestlemania perhaps even greater
16:12and how much damage has that done to the knee of drew mcintyre see him reaching for that left knee
16:19cody's
16:19been reaching for that left arm when you take away cody you take away drew's knee you take away his
16:26stature
16:27you take away all of his physical advantages and now maybe the tables have just turned in favor
16:35oh cody with the big dive to the outside landing with a grimace but belief back with cody rhodes
16:55oh he's going for our desk oh god he's taking this thing to a far different level
17:03cody rose is clear in the desk whatever level you want to take it to when wrestlemania and the wwe
17:10championship hangs in the balance and now the current champ and the recent champ are on that hardened
17:19reinforced announced desk and someone's about to always go for the he's going for crossroads on the desk
17:27oh the desk collapses
17:34well mcintyre managed to avoid the worst of that clearly cody had very very bad intent in mind there
17:42but that is a lot of beef that was balanced on this table and the table just gives in
17:58oh
17:59oh god cody is grabbing the table and drew runs into him from behind
18:19and now right into the eyes of cody rhodes
18:22oh the power bomb through the table right through the table
18:37and now drew having done damage to cody brings him back into the ring
18:46and it's drew's for the taking now
18:52wait he's lining up a crossroads is drew lining up across oh he delivers cody's signature to him
19:01and cody survives it while mcintyre trying to add insult to injury there beating cody with his own move
19:11but cody simply saying no not tonight
19:17it's an epic delivery of the crossroads but only one man masters that move and that man is cody rhodes
19:25and cody rhodes is still alive in this one
19:28this massive crowd here in portland cannot believe what they're witnessing
19:33what a war for the undisputed wwe championship
19:39claymore is lined up
19:42oh cody with a big kick saving himself just in time cody with a claymore cody with a claymore
19:53while both men have now thrown each other's best weapons at their opponents
20:02are both men able to kick out and keep their hopes alive
20:09the undisputed wwe championship a trip to wrestlemania to meet randy orton the biggest spotlight of all
20:20true drew's trying to retain it cody's trying to win it back
20:26what a roller coaster this has been and cody trying to go big here once again from the top
20:32true able to see it coming
20:39oh robson nearly got caught there just about ducking out of the way dangerous place to be that ring and
20:45once again somehow avoiding a major collision there was the referee cody middle of the ring
20:55i think he was looking for disaster kick but it wiped out our official charles robinson while
21:01mackintyre pulled robinson in the way of that disaster kick and now charles robinson's wiped out there is no
21:10wrath and now cody
21:15in control right in the center of the ring oh true able to counter back
21:23big boot from cody rhodes can he regain gold
21:31with drew compromised in the corner but he gets out of the way
21:35both men running on fumes this deep into the matchup after everything they've taken and strategy
21:42just goes out of the window you are fighting on pure instinct here hoping your body can hold on
21:49everything they have given everything they have taken from each other cody what a counter
21:56crossroads cody crossroads
22:01he's looking around for a referee remember robinson was wiped out there's no ref
22:15and that is devastating but cody rhodes who knows he had this one won
22:21come on he had the gold saying give me an official i need an official
22:27oh a claymore a flash claymore drew to retain oh he survives the claymore
22:40at the death a kick out from cody just when it looked like a drew mcintyre masterstroke with this
22:50connection from the claymore had got it one for the scotsman
22:55a fresh rep and then angler and a two and change count
23:00and i will never know where cody rose just summoned the willpower up to kick out from back
23:06i mean that instance add water flash claymore and look at the look that the champ
23:12that drew mcintyre is giving to our official well mcintyres have major issues with dan angler in the past
23:20i know he's stepping to dan angler
23:26saying respect that badge respect that logo drew mcintyre respects nobody
23:36i think we're looking to calm him down there is no calming drew mcintyre down this man is a
23:43constant burning fuse oh just sends that left shoulder into the post remember all the damage
23:49that's been done to that left arm alone well cody's body is just mangled at this point in the match
23:55nothing is working like it oh and again cody's taking real damage weight real serious damage well
24:04this is where mcintyre has to be relentless and once again it is the referee who is drawing the ire
24:11of drew mcintyre he's got a title to retain he's worried about dan angler right now
24:20oh let's go kiss he just headbutted him our second ref is down well that may well lead to another
24:29suspension for mcintyre let's not see what he's coming away engler once before two reps now down
24:36and mcintyre reaching for the cold hard steel steel chair in hand
24:50mcintyre's gonna finish this thing for kirk looking at his prey jacob fatu rips the chair away
24:59well mcintyre's had countless problems with fatu over the past few months
25:04that's how it all began back in january that's a roll up cody almost stealing it
25:11future shot mcintyre he grabbed the chair fatu was there to take it away and now drew
25:21backs up again what an absolute chaotic sequence this match is seen but drew now ready to end this
25:31playboy misses
25:38is there hope for cody roads
25:42it's now or never for cody
25:47super cutter

27:40in a hand basket
27:43this was moments later cody
27:46getting hoisted up but managing to connect with a crossroads only one issue
27:53the referees down nobody to count the pin
27:58dan engler would come down
28:01as our second referee there was that flash claymore kick
