New WWE Champion After Drew McIntyre

WWE

A new champion was crowned on the January 9 SmackDown episode, with Drew McIntyre defeating Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Title.

With such an impactful title change, the next star to win the WWE Championship will have to do so under even more memorable circumstances.

With a number of potential challengers teased, there are several stars who could be set for a future WWE Championship reign.

Here are seven stars who could win the WWE Championship after Drew McIntyre.

7. Cody Rhodes

While Cody Rhodes did lose the WWE Championship, there are many asterisks surrounding his championship loss.

Not only did Drew McIntyre only win the singles match stage of Three Stages of Hell following an illegal low blow, McIntyre’s Steel Cage stage victory came as a result of Jacob Fatu attacking Rhodes, allowing the new champion to escape the cage.

While this was intended to be a definitive end to the duo’s feud, the nature of the title change could see Rhodes given one last title match against McIntyre.

The duo’s rivalry has a different dynamic now, with Cody Rhodes now doing the chasing.
