Cody Rhodes’ SmackDown Title Win Becomes WWE’s Most Disliked YouTube Video of 2026

TLDR

Cody Rhodes defeated Drew McIntyre to win the Undisputed WWE Championship on the March 6 episode of SmackDown, with the match ending after Jacob Fatu interfered to stop McIntyre from using a steel chair, allowing Rhodes to hit a Cody Cutter and Cross Rhodes for the victory. The YouTube video of Rhodes' title win has become WWE's most disliked video of 2026 with over 58,000 dislikes compared to roughly 17,000 likes, with fans criticizing the booking and comparing Rhodes' push to the "Super Cena" era. Rhodes will now defend the championship against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas after Orton won the 2026 Men's Elimination Chamber match.
