Undisputed WWE Championship
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
The familiar sounds of Cody Rhodes’ entrance tune plays. 10,000 or so fans begin singing along as “The American Nightmare” emerges to exploding pyro and fireworks as he prepares for his latest Undisputed WWE Championship defense in a rematch from WrestlePalooza.
He settles in the ring, kneels down and kisses the mat, and then poses to the crowd in the corner on the ropes. His music dies down and the theme for his opponent hits. Drew McIntyre makes his way out to pyro as well. “The Scottish Psychopath” heads down and settles inside the squared circle.
WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia’s Mr. Kennedy style microphone lowers and she begins the pre-match ring introductions for this title tilt. McIntyre forces her to call him the real ‘American Dream.’ She then introduces the champ and the bell sounds to get this one off-and-running.
Dan Engler is the referee for this one. Michael Cole and Wade Barrett are on commentary tonight. We are reminded that the title will, in fact, change hands if the bout ends via disqualification or count out. Cody goes directly after McIntyre at the onset, establishing the early offensive lead.
