Drew McIntyre Says Upcoming Match With Cody Rhodes Is ‘BS’, Claims Nick Aldis Is Too ‘Hotheaded’ To Be GM

Drew McIntyre isn’t happy with Nick Aldis.

Following the Elimination Chamber event, Aldis made a shocking announcement, revealing that Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes on the March 6 episode of SmackDown. This announcement broke a contract that was signed regarding Rhodes not receiving a rematch against McIntyre if he didn’t win the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber match.

Speaking with Complex Graps for a new interview, McIntyre complained about the situation and the conduct of Nick Aldis.

“It’s BS. It’s as simple as that. I seem to recall there being a certain contract, it wasn’t Cody gets a rematch if Drew decides to interfere in every match for the rest of time. It says Cody gets no rematch, he has to win the Royal Rumble, he has to win the Elimination Chamber, he won neither. The small print didn’t say beside that if Drew does this or if Drew gets involved in a match. Nick Aldis, that hooligan, made the match, breached a contract and I’m currently figuring out how this match is even happening in the first place. I said all along, anybody but Cody. I’m in this situation where I’ve got to fight him on Friday. I’m talking to the lawyers, I’m gonna figure it out. You saw what happened with Nick — he’s too hotheaded to be a GM, he gets in my face and rips off his jacket. I mean, I’m 6”5 and 280, I can drop him on his arse any second. Imagine it’s one of the little guys, which is basically 80% the rest of the roster. Imagine it’s one of the females in that situation. Somebody like that in power, somebody like that protecting Cody. As far as I’m concerned, it’s BS. It’s the same old story, trying to screw Drew McIntyre. Whatever happens on Friday, I’m gonna make sure I leave that match with this championship and head into WrestleMania as champion.”
