“WrestleMania 39”: Cody Rhodes’ Surprising Defeat Against Drew McIntyre on WWE Raw 2/19 Leaves Fans With Sour Taste

The opening match for tonight’s WWE RAW was Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre. The match was highly anticipated, with fans hoping that Rhodes would finally stop McIntyre’s tyrannical run. However, the ending of the match didn’t favor the former AEW star as McIntyre picked up the win with some help. Fans took to social media to voice their displeasure with the ending of the match. Many claimed it was unnecessary and would’ve been better if the pin was clean.

The match started great, with both Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre going at it without hesitation. Both men tried their best to ensure the other lost. While McIntyre had the upper hand, Rhodes capitalized by targeting his weak knee. This led fans to think that the Royal Rumble winner had the match in the bag. Unfortunately, a hooded Solo Sikoa appeared on the apron, delivering a devastating Samoa Spike to Rhodes. This let McIntyre capitalize with the Claymore for the win.

While the match’s finish was disheartening to the fans, many had one complaint. This reminded them of WrestleMania 39. The same thing happened. While the former AEW star had the match in his palms, the interference by The Bloodline cost him. This was the exact booking tonight. Despite the match not being important, the constant interference by The Bloodline in Rhodes’ matches may be the breaking point for him.

After the match, Seth Rollins approached Rhodes as he was being treated backstage. Adam Pearce was also there and asked if he needed anything. The American Nightmare denied it and didn’t say anything to Rollins either. This could hint at Rhodes and Rollins teaming up to face The Bloodline. However, nothing has been confirmed yet. Fans are hoping to see a showdown at Elimination Chamber.
