Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes have been on a collision course once again. Despite Cody already having defeated McIntyre on multiple occasions, they are set for a rematch once again. Things got heated when Nick Aldis visited Drew McIntyre's house to have a conversation and sort all their issues out. McIntyre was then taken aback when he saw that Cody Rhodes followed Aldis and was outside his property, which was a line too far to cross. Both men had to be restrained by the police, and on SmackDown this week, Nick Aldis let Cody know that if he laid a finger on McIntyre, he would be stripped of his WWE title. McIntyre called Rhodes a coward as well.
On the 26th December episode of SmackDown, it was announced that Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship will be a 3 Stages of Hell match, which is a stipulation that hasn't been announced for a long time. Keep reading to find out more about it.
If you're a younger WWE fan, you might be wondering what 3 Stages of hell is. In essence, it's three stipulation matches bundled into one bout. This means that one stage could be a cage match, the second could be an inferno match, and the third stage could be a street fight. These are just examples, as it has not been revealed exactly which stipulation WWE plans to use for the Rhodes vs McIntyre match for the WWE Championship.
