On the January 9 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Drew McIntyre defeated Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell Match to win the Undisputed WWE Championship.

This victory came as a result of the returning Jacob Fatu getting involved in the final fall of their match in a steel cage and attacking both competitors, leading to McIntyre escaping the cage to win.

In the weeks since then, fans have seen McIntyre, Rhodes and Fatu brawling and costing each other wins.
