The Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre kicked off the action-packed Saturday Night's Main Event XLI. Both tore the roof off with their high-paced performances.The Scotsman tried his best heel antics to beat The American Nightmare and also attempted to end the match via countout or DQ, but the final moment of the contest saw the referee knocked down, and McIntyre took advantage of it to seize the title and attack Cody. However, Rhodes saw it coming and dodged. The two collided, fell to the mat, and crawled toward the title.The 40-year-old titleholder connected a DDT on The Scottish Warrior on the championship and threw him out, followed by Cross Rhodes, and pinned Drew to retain his title.Now, the Scotsman is 0-5 in World title matches, according to a stat. In this article, we will examine three reasons why Triple H didn’t put the Undisputed WWE Title on Drew McIntyre at SNME:#3. Supermatch planned for Cody RhodesThe American Nightmare is indeed one of the biggest babyfaces in World Wrestling Entertainment and has massive star power to draw a major box office.The 40-year-old star retaining his title would now help; the promotion would finally craft the dream bout him against Randy Orton. The rivalry between the two could extend till WrestleMania 42.#2. Drew McIntyre has no WWE storylineSuppose The Scottish Warrior won the title, beating Cody at SNME. Looking at his current run, he does not have any strong opposition or challenger with whom he could build a WrestleMania-worthy feud.Meanwhile, Rhodes has multiple options. Therefore, the Triple H-led creative team made the perfect call to keep the title on the American Nightmare.#1. Strong heel teaseThe ending of the bout saw yet another tease of Cody Rhodes's heel version, where he didn't flinch to use the Undisputed strap to put McIntyre away.Drew losing to Rhodes after being hit by the title could be perfectly used to build the potential heel turn of the American Nightmare. Fans have already started pointing it out on social media. Maybe this was intentional from WWE's side to put heat on the champion, and McIntyre's loss has frustrated fans even more.
