A WWE star has accused the company of ‘breaching their contract’ ahead of their championship match on tonight’s SmackDown.
Tonight’s WWE SmackDown will see Drew McIntyre defend the WWE Championship against former champion Cody Rhodes in a rematch from their Three Stages of Hell clash in January which saw McIntyre win the title.
After his title win, Drew noted that Cody would be unable to get a rematch for the belts as long as he was champion, and he has now accused WWE of breaching his contract.
Speaking to Graps The Podcast, he said:
“I mean, it’s BS, simple as that. I seem to recall a certain contract, a little thing I wrote in there. 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 Drew does this then he gets the match’.
“Nick Aldis, that hooligan, made the match, breached a contract, and I’m currently trying to figure it, because this match shouldn’t be happening in the first place. I said all along anybody but Cody, I’m in this situation where I got to fight him on Friday, I’m talking to the lawyers, I’m going to figure it out.
“You saw what happened with Nick, he’s too hot-headed to be a GM for a start. He gets in my face, one of the talent, rips off his jacket. I mean, I’m 6’5, 280, I could drop him on his arse any second, imagine it’s one of the little guys, which is basically 80% of the rest of the roster. Imagine it’s one of the females in that situation, you’ve got 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 going to make sure I leave that match with this championship and head into WrestleMmania as champion as I should.”
