Cody Rhodes Retains WWE Undisputed World Title At Wrestlepalooza

WWE Wrestlepalooza went down at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. This was a historic show, and it also included a big title match.

Cody Rhodes recently returned to the fold after filming Street Fighter. He immediately got involved with Drew McIntyre, which set up an Undisputed World Title match in Indianapolis.

This match went down as the final spot on the card, right after it was announced that Stephanie McMahon will be the first inductee in the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame. This match also received an incredible big fight feel thanks to Alicia Taylors ring introductions.

This match had fans going in a big way, but Cody Rhodes was the overwhelming favorite. They felt each other out, and eventually ended up brawling at ringside.

The match continued as the two had a slugfest in the ring. Cody got fans behind him and nailed a powerslam as he eyed victory in this match. He nailed a Disaster Kick, but didnt get the pin. He went for a Cody Cutter and then a Crossroads, but McIntyre got out of that. McIntyre hit a Glasgow Kiss as Cody sat on the top rope, and he climbed up to the top rope to bite him before hitting a White Noise from the top for a near fall.

Cody reversed a Claymore Kick into a powerbomb, and then he missed another Claymore Kick. Cody got on a figure four after that, and then McIntyre got up and ripped the turnbuckle off. McIntyre ended up taking the bump into the turnbuckle, and he ate a Crossroads for a near fall.

McIntyre blocked another Cody Cutter, and then he sent Rhodes out of the ring before nailing a dive. Upon returning to the ring, McIntyre hit a Claymore Kick for a very close near fall. They went outside and Cody was in position for another kick through the announce table, and then he rolled away so Drew missed the kick and his leg went through the table.

McIntyre nailed a Glasgow Kiss to block a Cody Cutter, but then the American Nightmare nailed the second one, a Crossroads, and he got the pin to retain the title. After the match, Cody celebrated in Indianapolis.

We will have to see who steps up to get a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship next. Only time will tell what happens in the future, because anything is possible in WWE at this point.
