Is a powerhouse.
>> So here we go.
McIntyre and Rhodes in a massive
match to start Monday Night Raw.
[NOISE]
>> 13,264 chanting for Cody Rhodes.
[NOISE]
>> Cody saying thanks.
The WWE Universe is in for
one right here to start role.
>> Well, Drew McIntyre has called
himself the savior of WrestleMania.
He is taking credit for in his words,
forcing Cody Rhodes to choose
Roman Reigns to finish his story.
Now you’re gonna see these ratings
throughout the night here.
These are the WWE 2K24 video game ratings.
The game of course, coming out available
March 5th, worldwide March 8th.
It’s the 40 years of WrestleMania Edition.
Cody, one of the cover stars of
the video game, comes in at 93.
>> Drew McIntyre is at 89.
But what do you wake up
on this particular day?
These are humans, superstars.
They’re not video game players.
>> Of course,
those rankings are always controversial.
Every year everybody has an opinion and
Cody Rhodes now side headlock on McIntyre.
>> A couple of big chops to start this.
>> Cody Rhodes.
And there’s a big right hand and
I think it just angered McIntyre
more than anything else.
>> Drew McIntyre cornered me earlier and
let me know that although he is not that
hero of WrestleMania,
all he wants to do is pleasure the people.
>> Well,
he said that he’s sacrificing himself.
He sacrificed himself to take out
CM Punk in the Royal Rumble, so
in his words, Cody could win.
>> He would then go on to attack and
injured CM Punk the next evening.
>> He says he wants to
do things the Drew way.
He wants to earn his way
to WrestleMania by winning
Elimination Chamber this coming Saturday.
McIntyre would qualify for
that for a win over AJ Styles.
McIntyre still is not forgiven Cody Rhodes
for bringing Jey Uso to Monday Night Raw.
Remember, McIntyre has
blamed The Bloodline for
the reason he’s not
the undisputed champion today.
>> And Drew McIntyre is the type of guy
who could find a reason to hate you if
he needs one.
>> Again, the Cody chance.
>> And that could be a reason
why Drew hates Cody as well.
>> McIntyre sent over
the top rope to the floor.
>> The WWE Universe loves this man for
good reason.
Every night he earns their appreciation.
>> And Cody Rhodes runs into a right by
McIntyre which stops Rhodes in his tracks.
These two a long history together,
they were once tag team champions,
the gashing ones.
And now Cody gonna work
on the knee of McIntyre.
Great strategy take out the power.
>> Cody Rhodes, student of the game.
And now Cody Rhodes locking in Figure-four
on McIntyre, center of the ring.
The WWE 2K intellect rating is a Hondo.
And will McIntyre tap out into
the submission hold by Cody here tonight?
>> Could you imagine Cody
tapped out through McIntyre?
>> Every win so important here in
the middle of WrestleMania season.
>> McIntyre can never afford a loss
heading to the chamber on Saturday.
[NOISE]
>> Anaheim could feel it.
>> McIntyre trying to turn Cody Rhodes and
turn the pressure.
>> You would think this big statue of
a man would get to this point inevitably.

Cody Rhodes still looking
to finish that story.
>> Cody Rhodes deciding to try and
finish his story at WrestleMania.
And Drew McIntyre thinks
he’s the reasoning behind.
>> Calls himself the savior
of WrestleMania.
And now McIntyre continuing
to torture Cody Rhodes here.
He believes Cody Rhodes stuck his nose
in his business last week when Drew and
Shinsuke Nakamura were trying
to take out Sami Zayn.
>> I don’t think he cares.
>> Well, that’s the thing about
this particular Drew McIntyre here.
More locked in, more focused, more of
a scumbag than he’s ever been in the past.
>> Well, on Saturday, he walks into
the Elimination Chamber structure for
a third time in his career.
He’s already won a chamber
match back in 2021.
And Cody firing up.
Cody fighting back against McIntyre,
but McIntyre right to the knee.
>> That’s the type of fight that
Cody has that not a lot of humans
in the history of planet Earth has.
Which is why he is the opportunity
to finish his story at WrestleMania.
Two-time Royal Rumble winner,
a lot of grit, but on the other side,
a man who’s built to win
that Elimination Chamber.
Gotta have good cardiovascular health.
It’s gonna be a long one.
>> Yeah, when McIntyre won
the chamber three years ago,
he actually retained the WWE
championship while doing so.
Goodness.
A chop driving Rhodes back to the corner.
>> Just a brutal man, this Drew McIntyre.
[NOISE]
>> And another wicked chop.

Cody to breaking his sternum.
>> Cody still with fight.

And now Cody’s got an opportunity to
try to fight back into this match.
[NOISE]

he catches McIntyre with a forearm.
Up over the top goes Cody.

this close to the Elimination Chamber and
Drew’s getting everything from Cody.

sign that hangs in the Honda

He knows to get there to get
a world championship opportunity,

Rhodes worked on early in the matchup and
it may have cost through trying
to make it to the top rope.

the greatest Bloodline of all time is
coming after you.
You’re not gonna finish your story.
You’re not gonna make it to WrestleMania.
I heard that when they were talking in
front of the Trailer Park Trash in Utah,
I saw it.
But here they come and
ruin a banger on Monday Night Raw.
>> And see, here’s the problem with all
this, Drew McIntyre is a damn hypocrite.
>> Yeah,
McIntyre is a hypocrite for years.
