Drew McIntyre believes the better man should win a match, not the one who kisses ass the best.
McIntyre spoke with Edinburgh News ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he will once again challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship. McIntyre came up short against Rhodes at Wrestlepalooza in September, which he attributes to Rhodes being favored in WWE.
“I’ve been fairly confident with championship matches in the past that something always seems to get in the way of me winning, or specifically, outside forces getting screwed,” McIntyre explained. “You remember the first time I got an eight count and I pinned Cody? And the ref said to jump out of the ring for eight seconds, the second time the ref blocked me, kicking his head through the table. The justification of, oh, it would have been a DQ.
“I was like, wait a minute… is that a DQ? No, exactly,” he pointed out. “Bending the rules for the champion, for the corporate champion.”
Drew McIntyre says he has a plan to even things up against Cody Rhodes
McIntyre assured Edinburgh News’ Benjamin Jackson that he has a game plan this time. He believes he can put things on a more even playing field.
“I have something in mind. I have one more SmackDown to get through before Saturday Night’s Main Event. And I got a feeling I can get this match in a place where I feel comfortable, that the better man will win, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted. That the better man wins,” he noted. “Not the one that plays politics best, or the one that kisses ass best wins.”
Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes will meet at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City on November 1.
