Theories
Drew McIntyre to Target WWE Champion at The Rock’s Request?
A potential post-WrestleMania 41 storyline could develop with Drew McIntyre joining The Rock’s faction to target Cody Rhodes, building on their previous tag team history.

Drew McIntyre could potentially become the third member of The Rock’s alliance with John Cena to target Cody Rhodes following WrestleMania 41. This possibility emerges as Rhodes prepares to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cena at wrestling’s biggest event.
The American Nightmare recently refused to align with The Final Boss at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, resulting in a brutal attack from Cena, The Rock, and Travis Scott. This attack established the championship match for WrestleMania 41.
The feud between Rhodes and The Rock’s faction may continue beyond WrestleMania, regardless of the championship match outcome. The article explores how McIntyre could join this storyline as another opponent for Rhodes.
McIntyre’s potential inclusion in The Rock’s group makes narrative sense due to his established relationship with The People’s Champion. Reports indicate The Rock played a significant role in McIntyre re-signing with WWE last year.
This connection could be showcased on television by portraying McIntyre as The Final Boss’ first signing as a TKO Board of Directors member. The Scottish Warrior would add a credible threat to the emerging faction targeting Rhodes.
A rivalry between McIntyre and Rhodes would gain additional depth through their shared history as former tag team partners in WWE. This past connection would add personal stakes to any potential confrontation.
If Rhodes retains his championship at WrestleMania, McIntyre could serve as his next challenger. Alternatively, if Rhodes loses the title, defeating The Rock’s associates could provide his path back to championship contention.
WWE reportedly has significant plans for McIntyre in 2025, and aligning him with established stars like The Rock and Cena would represent a major push for his character.

Four Possible Scenarios If Jey Uso Loses World Title Match at WWE WrestleMania 41
Jey Uso faces a challenging World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther at WrestleMania 41, with several potential outcomes if he fails to capture the title in Las Vegas.

Jey Uso will challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. While Royal Rumble winners often become new champions at The Show of Shows, several scenarios could unfold if the “Yeet Master” falls short against The Ring General.
WWE could reduce or end Jey Uso’s singles push if he loses at WrestleMania. Despite strong crowd support during entrances, promos, and matches, Jey has experienced multiple losses, including a short Intercontinental Championship reign and previous defeats against Gunther.
Without continued fan support following another high-profile loss, Triple H might reconsider the current direction for The Bloodline member.
Jey Uso could potentially align himself with The Rock if desperation sets in after another championship defeat. As one of WWE’s biggest babyfaces, a loss at the grand stage of WrestleMania might drive him to extreme measures.
Similar to John Cena’s recent heel turn, Jey might sell his soul to The Final Boss in pursuit of championship gold, giving The Rock control of two major heel turns and strong contenders for both top men’s titles.
A loss to Gunther could lead Jey Uso to shift focus toward John Cena. With Cody Rhodes potentially losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cena at WrestleMania, Jey could take up the challenge of bringing down the 17-time champion.
This direction would keep Jey relevant in a major storyline while allowing WWE to extend Gunther’s title reign.
After an unsuccessful championship bid, Jey Uso might temporarily step away from WWE programming. Having been a regular presence on Raw with numerous storyline involvements, a defeat could provide narrative justification for a brief hiatus.
This break would allow for Jey’s eventual return with a refreshed character or storyline direction.
Gunther
Jey Uso May Lose Potential Major Ally for WrestleMania 41
Speculation grows about potential Gunther attack on Jimmy Uso leading to his absence from WrestleMania 41, adding personal stakes to the World Heavyweight Championship match.

A backstage segment on SmackDown between Jimmy Uso and Gunther has sparked speculation about potential developments leading to WrestleMania 41. The segment featured the World Heavyweight Champion attempting to manipulate Jimmy regarding his brother Jey’s championship match.
Jimmy Uso rebuffed Gunther’s manipulation tactics during their interaction, confidently informing the champion that he would lose his title to Jey at WrestleMania. This confrontation potentially sets up further developments in their storyline.
Jey Uso earned his championship opportunity by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. He chose to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41.
The rivalry between Jey Uso and Gunther has intensified in recent weeks through weekly confrontations. Both competitors have displayed increasing ruthlessness during these encounters as their championship match approaches.
Based on the recent backstage segment, speculation suggests Gunther could potentially attack Jimmy Uso on an upcoming SmackDown. Such an attack might leave Jimmy unable to compete at WrestleMania this year.
A targeted attack by Gunther would create additional emotional stakes for Jey Uso heading into the championship match. This personal element could add complexity to Jey’s challenge against The Ring General.
This potential angle would transform their championship match from a competitive contest into a more personal conflict. The added emotional element could impact Jey’s performance in the championship opportunity.
The scenario described remains speculative at this point, as WWE has not officially indicated such plans for the ongoing storyline between these competitors.
Nice try, Uce

Damian Priest
Drew McIntyre Forms New Alliance on SmackDown
Drew McIntyre disrupts Damian Priest’s match against Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown in Barcelona despite reportedly leaving the building earlier, potentially teasing an alliance with Nakamura.

Drew McIntyre continued his pursuit of Damian Priest on SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain. The ongoing feud between the two former World Champions intensified after Priest eliminated McIntyre from this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match and later prevented him from earning a WrestleMania opportunity in the Elimination Chamber.
The episode, which will air on tape delay in the United States, featured Damian Priest competing against Shinsuke Nakamura in a singles match. Priest originally wanted to face McIntyre following a pre-taped segment where The Scottish Warrior called him out.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis informed Priest that McIntyre had left the building earlier. Nakamura stepped up to challenge Priest, who accepted the match after his intended opponent was reportedly unavailable.
The match between Priest and Nakamura progressed well until McIntyre made a surprising appearance. Despite Aldis stating he had departed the venue, McIntyre had actually remained in the building and attempted to cost Priest his match.
Priest managed to counter Nakamura’s Kinshasa attempt with the South of Heaven, but McIntyre immediately jumped him. During the ensuing brawl between McIntyre and Priest, Nakamura delivered a Kinshasa to Priest.
Nakamura then stared down McIntyre before leaving the ring, allowing The Scottish Warrior to continue his attack on Priest. This interaction suggested a potential alliance between McIntyre and Nakamura could be forming.
Reports have circulated that Nakamura’s time with WWE might be ending, though wrestling journalist Bill Apter has cast doubt on these claims. If Nakamura is departing, this match could be one of his final appearances for the company.
However, if Nakamura remains with WWE, the interaction with McIntyre potentially indicates the beginning of a partnership between the two against their common adversary, Damian Priest.
