Drew McIntyre losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes may have shocked some fans but according to a new report, it wasnt exactly a surprise to McIntyre himself. Self Made Pro revealed during a Self Made Session on March 9, 2026 that McIntyre was fully aware there was a strong possibility he would drop the title during WrestleMania season. The report explained that people close to McIntyre indicated he had already considered what his next move might be if he hadnt won the title in the first place. While the Scottish Warrior did defeat Cody Rhodes earlier in the year to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship, the report says he understood from the beginning that the title reign might not last long. Rhodes ultimately regained the title from McIntyre on the March 6 episode of SmackDown, a result that led to tons of backlash from fans online. The match quickly became one of WWEs most disliked YouTube uploads of the year. So despite the strong reaction from fans, the latest update suggests that the title change may have been part of the plan all along and that McIntyre himself was already prepared for the possibility.
