This episode of WWE Monday Night RAW from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, opened with Drew McIntyre taking on Cody Rhodes. The two finally squared off after a confrontation during last week’s episode. McIntyre has been calling himself the savior of WrestleMania XL and trying to take credit for Rhodes picking Roman Reigns for Mania’s main event.
Drew McIntyre makes a reference to Cult of Personality
Despite claiming that The Bloodline has been a thorn in his shoe for weeks, McIntyre didn’t hesitate to pick up the win with their help tonight. While Rhodes had the upper hand at the match’s end, a Samoan Spike from Solo Sikoa turned the tables. A quick Claymore from McIntyre ended the match.

Taking to social media, McIntyre posted a gif of himself with a circle around his eyes. He captioned, “Look in my eyes, what do you see?” CM Punk fans know this line as part of his theme song, Cult of Personality. This dig at Punk adds to the list of digs the Scottish Warrior has been making since ending the former AEW star’s WrestleMania dream.

McIntyre has been on a roll lately. Even though he lost the Royal Rumble match, he will be competing at Elimination Chamber. The winner will get a chance to challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Ever since he stopped CM Punk’s momentum and sent him off with a tricep injury, McIntyre has never missed a moment to remind the audience about it.
Will Drew McIntyre win the Elimination Chamber match?
With Punk out of the picture for Elimination Chamber, McIntyre seems to be the best candidate for Seth Rollins’ WWE World Heavyweight Championship title. The winner of the Elimination Chamber will challenge Rollins at WrestleMania XL. Kevin Owens, LA Knight, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, and Logan Paul will be in the 2024 Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
