Cody Rhodes won his bout against McIntyre and retained his title. Randy Orton was also nowhere to be seen. At this time, it remains to be seen if they will do it at some other event, but for now, it has not happened.Drew McIntyre's match ended in an unfortunate mannerMcIntyre wanted to end Cody Rhodes' run as champion and was looking to Claymore him through a table. However, a referee got in his way, and that hesitation cost him. By the time he pushed him aside and tried the move, Rhodes had moved aside, leading to him putting his leg through the table.This was the weakness that Rhodes had been looking for and took advantage of, winning the match and walking away as the champion.Now that McIntyre's leg is hurt, it remains to be seen what's next for him in WWE.
