Cody vs McIntyre from WCPW
Both Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre have a lot of history with each other, I mean after all the two men once held the WWE Tag Team Championships alongside each other. But that is a thing of the past and the two men have certainly enjoyed an immense amount of success in their post-WWE career.

This clash between Cody and McIntyre was the latter's final match before his return to the WWE and the two men exceeded all expectations and put together an all-out war. The two initially started off this bout with an obligatory handshake, as McIntyre started things off in a very physical manner and took the fight to Cody.

Despite the size disadvantage, a resilient Cody Rhodes did all he could and took the fight to the Scottish Psychopath, who throughout the contest used his massive size to brutalize Cody. The outside interference from Brandi Rhodes was also another solid touch to the entire match, as both Mr. and Mrs. Nightmare, at one point, went through a table and to add up to things, we also witnessed another outside interference from Drake.
This eventually led to Stu Bennett's involvement in the match, as the former WWE star left his commentary seat to take out Drake all on his own and thus led to a clean finish with Cody subsequently defeating Drew McIntyre via a roll-up pin.
