Fans don't seem to get tired of Cody Rhodes' run atop the mountain in WWE and SmackDown as the Undisputed Champion, a title he has held since SummerSlam 2025. However, Sam Roberts believes this might be the right time to pull the trigger on Drew McIntyre dethroning The American Nightmare.
Cody is slated to defend his gold against McIntyre at this weekend's Saturday Night's Main Event 2025. Considering The Scottish Warrior has often fallen short when it mattered the most, not many are optimistic about his chances of besting Cody Rhodes. That said, Drew McIntyre is sure to bring his A-game and do everything in his power to win his 3rd World Title in the global juggernaut.
Speaking on his NotSam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts expressed his desire to see McIntyre end Cody's title reign. The RAW Recap host added that since Drew McIntyre has been unlucky for so long, it was time WWE rewarded him with a win.
"It’s because Drew is that guy who wrestles in the big match and doesn’t win. The credible opponent who the babyface doesn’t have to take a loss against. You know, you can build to it and he makes you believe and then he losses. But we’ve seen it a lot. And people are right, there have been a lot of Drew McIntyre championship matches, which is why I want him to win it," said Sam Roberts. (TJRWrestling)Did The Rock's "Final Boss" run hurt WWE?

Furthermore, Roberts added that McIntyre's Undisputed Title reign doesn't have to be a long one, as The American Nightmare could win back the gold at Royal Rumble 2026. He added that this way WWE wouldn't have to alter whatever WrestleMania 42 plans they had chalked out for Cody Rhodes.
"And again, I’m going back to my LA Knight thing. That doesn’t mean Drew has to go to WrestleMania as champion. That doesn’t mean Cody can’t win it back. Drew could win the title, carry it to the Royal Rumble, and Cody beats Drew at the Rumble," added Knight.If it's safe to say if McIntyre yet again falls short this Saturday night, it could further frustrate his fans, who are already tired of seeing him lose in crunch situations.
