WWE: Jacob Fatu’s shocking return helps drew McIntyre steal undisputed title from Cody Rhodes

WWE had a massive show planned for tonight in Berlin, where the promotion officially kicked off its Road to Royal Rumble with a blockbuster episode of SmackDown. The night featured three title matches and the highly anticipated return of a major WWE star. However, the spotlight remained firmly on the monumental Three Stages of Hell match between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Shocking Bloodline involvement turns the tide in Drew McIntyre’s title victory

Drew McIntyre finally achieved his long-awaited goal of winning the Undisputed WWE Championship, but he did not accomplish it entirely on his own. The Scottish Warrior was unknowingly helped by a returning member of The Bloodline. Jacob Fatu, a former Bloodline enforcer, made a shocking comeback after being absent from WWE programming for nearly four months.

Fatu had disappeared following a brutal backstage attack that left him bloodied and taken out of action. His unexpected return immediately added another layer of intrigue to the championship clash.

Jacob Fatu’s revenge plan backfires as Drew McIntyre escapes with the title

Many fans believed that the earlier backstage assault on Fatu had been orchestrated by Drew McIntyre, and Fatu returned seeking revenge. During the Steel Cage stage of the match, Fatu appeared and stopped McIntyre from escaping, attacking him and seemingly costing him the victory.

However, the situation took a sudden turn when Cody Rhodes entered the fray. Fatu shifted his focus to Cody, engaging in a heated brawl. That distraction allowed McIntyre to quietly escape the cage and secure the win, officially becoming the new Undisputed WWE Champion.

After the match, a furious Cody Rhodes attacked Jacob Fatu, blaming him for costing him the championship. The chaotic ending left fans stunned and raised major questions about the future involvement of The Bloodline as WWE heads toward the Royal Rumble.
