Wrestling fans, prepare for a heated debate! WWE's Undisputed Champion Drew McIntyre reignites an old feud with a subtle yet powerful move.
In a recent social media post, McIntyre shared a fan's tweet from 2020, taking a dig at Cody Rhodes' career. The tweet, a response to Rhodes' opinion on midcard titles, labeled him as a 'midcarder for life'. But here's the twist: McIntyre omitted the context, making the jab even more pointed. This strategic move adds fuel to the fire, especially considering Rhodes' recent success.
Back in 2020, a fan named Wilson engaged with Rhodes, stating that he's 'spoken like someone who's midcard for life'. Rhodes, curious, asked if Wilson followed him, to which Wilson replied, 'Because you're my favorite midcarder'. This exchange, now resurfaced by McIntyre, has a new layer of meaning.
Interestingly, Wilson later praised Rhodes after his WWE Championship win in 2024, calling him 'the guy who can draw the big money'. But McIntyre chose to highlight the older, more critical tweet, leaving out this positive development. This selective sharing is a classic heel tactic, stirring up emotions among fans.
As Rhodes gears up for the Elimination Chamber, where he could secure a title match against McIntyre at WrestleMania 42, the tension rises. McIntyre's online persona, established during his feud with CM Punk, continues to make him one of wrestling's most intriguing figures.
But was McIntyre's move a clever strategy or a petty dig? The wrestling world is divided. Some see it as a masterclass in building anticipation for an upcoming match, while others view it as a low blow. What's your take on this? Is McIntyre's online persona enhancing the sport, or does it cross the line into unnecessary drama?
