In a shocking turn of events, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre revealed the stipulations for their highly anticipated Three Stages of Hell match against Cody Rhodes on the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown. The three-match showdown, which marks the return of the grueling stipulation after a 12-year hiatus, is set to take place in Berlin, Germany.
A Long-Awaited Return for the Three Stages of Hell
The Three Stages of Hell match, a grueling and physically demanding stipulation that pushes wrestlers to their limits, was first introduced in 2009. Since then, it has become a fan favorite, with only a handful of Superstars experiencing the brutal challenge. The match consists of three consecutive falls, with each fall representing a different match. The first fall is a standard match; the second fall is a steel cage match; and the third fall is a Last Man Standing match.
“We’re bringing back the Three Stages of Hell for a reason: it’s the ultimate test of strength and endurance,” McIntyre said in a backstage interview. “Cody Rhodes thinks he’s got what it takes to take me down, but he’s in for a rude awakening. I’m not just fighting for myself; I’m fighting for my legacy, and I’m going to stop at nothing to prove that I’m the superior Superstar.”
McIntyre’s determination is palpable, and fans are eagerly anticipating the match, which promises to be an intense and grueling battle. Sources close to Cody Rhodes revealed that he’s been training extensively for the match, focusing on building his strength and endurance.

He’s got a lot of respect for Drew, but he’s not afraid of him. He’s ready to put everything on the line and prove that he’s the better man.”
