The tension between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes continues to build, with the latest development leaving many in the WWE universe stunned. In a shocking move, McIntyre took to social media to post photos of himself urinating on Cody Rhodes’ bus after the January 2, 2026 episode of SmackDown went off the air. This provocative act has sparked outrage and raised questions about the true depths of McIntyre’s frustration with his rival.
A Prank Gone Too Far?
Sources close to McIntyre describe the situation as a “heat-of-the-moment” prank, one that was meant to be a “light-hearted jab” at Rhodes. However, insiders also acknowledge that the prank may have crossed a line, given the sensitive nature of the situation. As one insider noted, “Drew’s been feeling the weight of Cody’s recent success, and this is a way for him to get back at him. But let’s be real, this isn’t exactly the kind of behavior you want to see from someone who’s supposed to be a top-tier talent.”
A Rivalry that’s Gotten Out of Hand
The feud between McIntyre and Rhodes has been building for months, with both men trading barbs and engaging in increasingly aggressive matches. While the animosity between them has been palpable, the post- SmackDown prank has raised concerns about the potential consequences of their rivalry.
According to a WWE insider, “This is a powder keg situation waiting to happen. Cody’s not the kind of guy who’s going to take this lying down, and Drew’s going to have to be prepared for some serious heat. We’re talking about two of the most passionate and intense competitors in the business – one wrong move could have serious repercussions.”
The Aftermath: What’s Next for McIntyre and Rhodes?
In the aftermath of the prank, Rhodes has yet to comment publicly on the situation. However, sources close to the wrestler suggest that he’s not happy about the situation, and that he’s considering taking matters into his own hands.
“Let’s just say Cody’s not happy about this,” a source revealed. “He’s been taking it in stride, but this is a different story altogether. He’s been saying that he’s been holding back, but this is the final straw. He’s going to make sure that Drew pays for this, one way or another.”
Meanwhile, McIntyre’s actions have sparked a mixture of shock and outrage from fans and fellow wrestlers alike. While some have defended his actions as a prank gone wrong, others have criticized him for his behavior.
“Unbelievable,” said a WWE insider. “This is a professional wrestling company, not a playground for grown adults. Drew’s got some explaining to do, and fast.”
A Turning Point for the Rivalry?
The post- SmackDown prank has raised the stakes for the rivalry between McIntyre and Rhodes, and it remains to be seen how the situation will play out. One thing is certain, however: this is a rivalry that’s going to be remembered for a long time to come.
As one observer noted, “This is it – the moment of truth for these two guys. They can either let this blow over and move on, or they can take it to the next level and see where it takes them. Either way, it’s going to be a wild ride.”
With tensions running high and the feud far from over, one thing is certain: the WWE universe will be watching with bated breath to see how this situation unfolds. Will McIntyre and Rhodes be able to put their differences aside and move forward, or will their rivalry continue to escalate? Only time will tell.
