The WrestleMania 42 picture just got a lot clearer and it may not include Drew McIntyre as champion. Drew McIntyre vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship is set for this Fridays SmackDown, with the winner scheduled to defend against Elimination Chamber winner Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42. Now, according to PWInsider.com, there is an internal expectation that a title change could happen on SmackDown. One WWE source reportedly noted that while plans can always shift, the current direction is not about dissatisfaction with McIntyres performance. Instead, the focus is firmly on delivering Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania this year. Ortons Elimination Chamber victory was said to be the first step in that strategy creating a surprise on the road to WrestleMania and steering the main event away from a more predictable path. If that direction holds, it strongly suggests Cody Rhodes could regain the Undisputed WWE Championship this Friday. As for McIntyre, his WrestleMania role remains unclear. A triple threat match is reportedly still on the table. Another possibility would see him paired with Jacob Fatu. Theres also a long-shot scenario involving an angle that leads to McIntyre facing SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis who has yet to make his official in-ring debut under WWE. For now, all eyes are on SmackDown. Do you think WWE should pull the trigger on a title change this Friday, or should Drew McIntyre carry the championship into WrestleMania 42? Let us know your take.
