Cody Rhodes may still be the Undisputed WWE Champion, but not everyone is thrilled about it.
At Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event in Salt Lake City, Cody once again found a way to retain his title—this time against Drew McIntyre under “lose on DQ or count-out†rules. The match was physical and dramatic, ending with Rhodes using a DDT on the title belt behind the refereeâ€s back before hitting Crossroads for the win.
But fans are calling foul after watching the footage posted to WWEâ€s official YouTube channel. The reaction tells the story loud and clear—the video currently shows around 8,300 likes and 15,000 dislikes, proving that the majority of fans werenâ€t pleased with how the match ended.
Many fans online feel Codyâ€s title reign has become stale and that the “American Nightmare†is far more compelling when chasing the championship rather than defending it. Others believe Drew McIntyre deserves better after repeatedly being booked to come up short in major title matches.
Social media sentiment has been brutal toward WWEâ€s booking direction. Posts across X and Reddit show frustration over the outcome, with several fans saying the title picture has “lost its energy†and needs a shake-up fast.
Whether you agree with Codyâ€s tactics or not, the numbers donâ€t lie—the WWE Universe isnâ€t exactly thrilled with how this one went down.
