Following the event, a furious Nick Aldis announced that McIntyre would defend the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes this Friday night on, Ibou claimed that he was told back on February 2 from Cody Rhodes' camp that the WWE Championship match at"Okay, I was told on February 2, straight up explicitly, that the WWE Championship match, according to Cody's camp, was Cody versus Randy Orton," Ibou said. "I was explicitly told that, and the only reason I didn't report it, can I be completely honest with you, and I think I actually did toss it out there. WWE's creative was so in flux, and so all over the place, and so just changing everything that I was just like, I'm not putting my name to this only for them to change their mind in a day." This news of Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton being the plan for the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania was also backed up today byOver the last two months, there have been several theories regarding who Drew McIntyre would defend the WWE Championship against at the Showcase of the Immortals. Many believed the match would be a multi-man affair, involving the likes of Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu. But that might have never been the plan. Ibou would go on to reveal that he's been told for months now that the WWE Championship match would never be a multi-man match, which leaves people like Jacob Fatu and current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre seemingly on the outside looking in. "And here's the thing, do you remember I kept repeatedly saying that the one thing I kept being told was that the WWE title match at Mania is not a multi-person match? That's why my assumption was, I'm guessing they're just doing Drew and Cody, and maybe we could hope for Jacob," Ibou said. "But now I'm thinking they're just gonna f---ing do Jacob and Drew non-title on this show."Is there a chance that they just get that we do a f--- finish with Jacob on that match, and we end up just getting a four-way? Yeah, I mean, there's a chance, but Cody's camp was told as of early February that he was going to be getting a Randy Orton match. Cody is a believer in that match and a believer in that program, and we'll see what they end up doing."Matt Black got involved in the wrestling media industry over two decades ago, covering WWE video games released by Acclaim, THQ, and 2K.
