Drew McIntyre: If You Provoke Me, I’m The Real Nightmare
Drew McIntyre explained his actions as to why he kicked Cody Rhodes’ head through the announce table last Friday on WWE SmackDown.
McIntyre began by saying that there was no update on Cody, and accused WWE of hiding the medical report.
McIntyre said that Cody needs the pat on the back, and he knows what that is like because that was him five years ago, but he’s evolved. Drew said that he wants the WWE Championship because he has earned it and deserves it.
“Who is Cody without his story and without his title? He’s nobody and he knows it!”
McIntyre said that he didn’t attack Cody, Cody attacked him. McIntyre said that he’s not the bad guy and that ifhe’s provoked, he will do very violent things and that he’s the real nightmare.
