WWE 'SmackDown' highlights: McIntyre heats up title match against Rhodes
"If last week's "SmackDown" left fans a little confused and empty from Drew McIntyre's disqualification win over Cody Rhodes in the impromptu title match, this week turned attention in the short term to Jimmy Uso and the Scottish Warrior, with Uso upset over what McIntyre allegedly did to Jacob Fatu last week. This led to a match with an expected outcome, as McIntyre beat Uso in his march toward Saturday Night's Main Event and a meeting with Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship."
"I've said this before and I'll say it again -- Drew McIntyre would be a star in any decade of pro wrestling. Friday's main event between Uso and McIntyre was a solid and fun TV main event between two veterans, and I do hope McIntyre gets another world title run sooner than later. But it's hard to imagine that happening at Saturday Night's Main Event on Nov. 1."
Drew McIntyre beat Jimmy Uso and advanced toward a Saturday Night's Main Event showdown with Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. McIntyre's match followed last week's disqualification win over Cody Rhodes and ongoing tension about alleged actions toward Jacob Fatu. Cody Rhodes used the title belt as a weapon and characterized the act as an emotional, uncharacteristic moment rather than a change in character. Friday's results included MFT over Rey Fenix and Shinsuke Nakamura, Tiffany Stratton defeating Kiana James in a non-title bout, and Ilja Dragunov retaining the United States Championship against Aleister Black. Despite McIntyre's momentum, Rhodes is expected to retain the title on Nov. 1.
