Drew McIntyre "quit" WWE on the March 13, 2026, episode of SmackDown after a confrontation with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and Jacob Fatu.
The segment opened SmackDown with McIntyre still upset about losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes on the March 6, 2026, episode of SmackDown. During that title match, McIntyre assaulted referees, and Jacob Fatu interfered to stop McIntyre from using a chair.
McIntyre demanded answers. Aldis reminded him that his own actions led to the situation, referencing McIntyre's interference in Cody Rhodes' matches.
Jacob Fatu then confronted McIntyre, questioning his plans after failing to regain the WWE Championship. McIntyre's response was a simple, "I quit."
Cody Rhodes is now scheduled to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42.
