Cody Rhodes will be entering the Elimination Chamber.
The main event of this week's SmackDown featured a triple threat qualifier match among Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, and Jacob Fatu. WWE Champion Drew McIntyre made an appearance towards the ending of the bout, attacking Fatu when the Samoan Werewolf looked to have the match won.
The Scottish Warrior sent Fatu crashing into the announce table, effectively taking him out of the match. McIntyre then focused his attention on Cody, delivering a big Claymore to Rhodes and then putting the lifeless body of Sami Zayn into the pinning position.

The referee, however, was out of the ring checking on Jacob Fatu, and the few seconds' delay in the pin allowed the American Nightmare to kick out. A frustrated McIntyre entered the ring again to beat the former Undisputed Champion some more.
Though Sami had recovered by this time and he ended up delivering a Helluva kick to McIntyre. In the end, Cody Rhodes took advantage of this chaos and he finally hit Zayn with a Cross Rhodes for the victory.
