Three possible finishes for Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event November 2025

Cody Rhodes will be defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.

The Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line when Cody Rhodes defends his title against Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1, 2025. The rivalry between the two has become one of the most personal and physical storylines in recent memory, with both men determined to walk out of Salt Lake City as champion.

The stage is set for chaos at the Delta Center, and fans can expect a dramatic showdown between The American Nightmare and The Scottish Warrior. But the real intrigue lies in how the match might end. 

WWE could choose any number of twists to shape the future of the Undisputed Title picture heading into Survivor Series: WarGames 2025. Here are the top three possible finishes for Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.

3. Cody Rhodes picks up a roll-up victory

Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre are no strangers to controversy, and their upcoming clash could end in yet another disputed finish. After a grueling back-and-forth battle, McIntyre could set up for the Claymore Kick, only for Rhodes to counter with a sudden roll-up pin.

In the heat of the moment, McIntyre’s shoulder might not be fully down, but the referee could still count to three, awarding the victory to Rhodes. The decision would instantly spark outrage, with the challenger protesting the outcome while The American Nightmare escapes with his championship intact.

This type of finish would be classic WWE storytelling, keeping Rhodes’ title reign alive while giving McIntyre a legitimate reason to demand a rematch. The controversy would fuel another chapter in their rivalry and keep fans debating the decision long after Saturday Night’s Main Event goes off the air.

2. Jimmy Uso cost Drew McIntyre his match

WWE has been teasing growing tension between McIntyre and Jimmy Uso ever since Jacob Fatu’s mysterious attack weeks ago. That subplot could very well explode at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Just as McIntyre seems poised to claim victory, Jimmy Uso could appear from the crowd or the ramp to interfere. A single distraction, perhaps pulling the referee or shouting from ringside, could be enough to give Rhodes the opening he needs. The champion could capitalize, hitting McIntyre with a Cross Rhodes to retain the title in dramatic fashion.

This outcome would serve multiple purposes. It would keep Cody’s title reign strong, protect McIntyre from a clean loss, and simultaneously set up a new feud between Drew and Jimmy heading into the winter months. It would also extend Rhodes’ narrative arc, showing that the Undisputed Champion remains a magnet for chaos in WWE’s ever-evolving landscape.

1. Drew McIntyre picks up the win via DQ

While fans might hope for a decisive finish, WWE could opt for an ending that escalates the tension even further. During the final moments of the match, McIntyre could gain the upper hand, battering Rhodes around ringside. In a fit of frustration or desperation, The American Nightmare might grab a steel chair or even a kendo stick and strike his opponent in plain view of the referee.

The official would have no choice but to call for the bell, awarding McIntyre the victory via disqualification. However, despite technically losing, Rhodes would retain the championship. The champion’s outburst would show a darker, more aggressive side of his character, hinting at a potential heel turn or mental unraveling.

Meanwhile, McIntyre could stand tall in the ring, furious but determined, knowing he was moments away from victory. Such an ending would set up a brutal rematch, possibly under no-disqualification or last-man-standing rules at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025.
