"He finally dropped me with the RKO after I ran my mouth for eight straight minutes. But Im honest. Im always honest. Im not the bad guy. You know, heel, like everyone likes to say. I just tell the truth and that makes you the bad guy today's day in age."I said Codys been buttering him up for months, talking about how great friends they are, how much he respects him, getting Randys guard down leading into the (Night of Champions) match and the split second Randy tweaked his back, his surgically repaired back, the back he was never gonna return from at one point."What did Cody do? My good friend, oh my goodness, are you OK? I want to do this the right way. No! He went right after his back. He targeted his back, possibly shortened his career even more. Then, when Randy had the opportunity to get him back, he hesitated, but he went for it anyway, then he missed and he lost the match. Thats on Randy."McIntyre said "prodding" Orton was part of the plan to get a match with him. He compared himself with John Cena and said he wasnt going to sell his soul and take "cheap" route to get a title shot.When it came to who he wants to face for the title, he pointed directly at Rhodes and made clear he didnt want to go up against this version of Cena.WWE STAR DREW MCINTYRE TALKS PUTTING HIMSELF UNDER THE MICROSCOPE TO GET BACK INTO SHAPE BEFORE RETURN"Cena and Cody at SummerSlam. Ive said this already. I dont want this John Cena. This John Cena is a little b----," he said. "We never had a match one-on-one ever. It would be a huge match. I dont want this Cena."I want to send him packing the way he used to be hustle, loyalty and respect, doing things the right way. These cheap finishes, everyone leaves the arena like, That freaking sucked, that was a waste of money. I want the actual John Cena. But since hes not that guy, I want Cody to win that title."McIntyre compared his career to Rhodes and believes their potential matchup would be one everyone wanted to see."And as I told Cody, parallel careers for 20 years. We both got handed a crappy hand back in the day character wise. We both had to leave the company to find ourselves, come back, get ourselves to where we are now. I used to be where he was in his mindset where he is now. Ive evolved past that. I see whats important now," he told Fox News Digital."Parallel careers, different destinations. The story is gonna be incredible, the match is gonna be incredible. But I want to be the one to tear the title out of Codys hands and see the look in his face and know, Oh crap this isnt the same Drew, and I was scared of the old Drew. This is an evolved Drew I cant compete with because hes better than me."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
