WWE WrestleMania 42: The shelved McIntyre-Rhodes Hell in a Cell pitch
TL;DR Summary
PWInsider reports WWE floated a Hell in a Cell match between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes for WrestleMania 42, but the company proceeded with Rhodes vs. Randy Orton as the Mania title bout, with McIntyre potentially facing Jacob Fatu. Orton earned his title shot at Elimination Chamber, Rhodes won the title back on SmackDown, and the Rhodes-vs-Orton plan remains the likely Mania match for now.
