WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg believes The Rock might throw his support behind Drew McIntyre in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match if Cody Rhodes rejects his proposition at the premium live event.
On last Friday’s SmackDown, The Rock demanded Rhodes become “his champion” and give him his soul, requiring an answer at Elimination Chamber. The same night will feature six competitors battling in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match: John Cena, CM Punk, Logan Paul, Damian Priest, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre.
During his Cheap Heat podcast, Rosenberg connected potential storyline developments based on recent interactions between The Rock and McIntyre.
If you look at the Chamber and Cody is going to say no to The Rock. And I think SGG is right, the setup would then be that The Rock would back whoever wins the Chamber. That basically means it has to be like Drew McIntyre.

Rosenberg’s theory stems from The Rock recently gifting McIntyre a Scottish Claymore sword for signing a new WWE contract. The two were also spotted conversing backstage during RAW’s Netflix debut episode.
The Men’s Elimination Chamber winner will challenge the Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania 41.
