Triple H Confirms Cody Rhodes for Wrestlepalooza

At first, it was thought that Rhodes and McIntyre would be in a match against each other with Cody’s title on the line at Wrestlepalooza on September 20, but according to last Friday’s The Wrestling Observer Newsletter,Dave Meltzer believes that’s not the case now. It’s now believed that McIntyre will be facing Randy Orton instead at Wrestlepalooza. Meltzer wrote:

“The originally scheduled Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre WWE title match scheduled for the show was, at last word, said to be still up in the air, and it could be McIntyre vs. Randy Orton.”

If that’s the case, it will be interesting to see who will be Cody’s opponent, if it’s not Drew. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a three-way match for the WWE Championship, either — Cody Rhodes defending against Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton.

Wrestlepalooza is already a pretty stacked card with four confirmed matches. The card includes:

John Cena versus Brock Lesnar
Mixed Tag Match: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch vs. CM Punk and AJ Lee
Jey and Jimmy Uso versus Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker
WWE Women’s World Championship Match: Stephanie Vaquer versus IYO SKY

So fans will just have to wait and see what role Cody will have in the first WWE main roster PLE in the ESPN era. Either way, it sounds like whoever he faces, the title will be on the line. Rhodes has been the Undisputed WWE Champion since defeating then-champion John Cena at SummerSlam.
