“I Can Beat Any Man Alive”: Colby Covington Calls Out WWE Champion, Wants to Make Wrestling “Real” Again

WrestleMania 36 concluded with Drew McIntyre becoming the new WWE champion. MMA star Colby Covington weighed in on the possibility of fighting McIntyre and promised to make wrestling “real again.”

Unlike the traditional WrestleMania events, this year WWE decided to have the event behind closed doors. It was divided into two parts; Night 1 and Night 2. Night 2 ended with Drew McIntyre defeating Brock Lesnar for the company’s coveted title.

Colby Covington weighs in on WrestleMania 36

Colby Covington is a huge pro-wrestling fan. Almost all of his promos are inspired from the pro-wrestling industry. In an episode of TNA—once considered as the greatest rival of the WWE—‘Chaos’ made an appearance along with Dan Lambert and other ATT members.

On multiple occasions, Covington has stated his interest to compete in the pro-wrestling world after his MMA career is over.
Being a fan of pro-wrestling, Covington could not stop commenting on the latest event. Speaking to Submission Radio, Covington said:

“I heard about it. I heard that the energy was different and it hasn’t been getting good reviews. So, there’s only one thing they need to do. And that brings me over there and let me make wrestling real again.”

Moreover, the former interim welterweight champion believes that he and Drew McIntyre would be a good fight. He believes that the size difference will not affect his performance.

‘Chaos’ wants to fight Drew McIntyre

“I think me and Drew McIntyre is a good matchup. He’s a big guy. But, it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. And everybody knows how big the fight is in me.”
“I feel like I can beat any man alive right now and I’m the best in the world. So, they need to let me go over there and let me make wrestling real again.”

Covington has the capabilities to make it big in WWE. The man has an unending gas tank, amazing microphone skills, athleticism, and even a decent body. But, as of now, Colby does not want to get his hands full.

Recently, Covington called out Tyron Woodley. He promised to fight the ‘Chosen One’ on Dana White’s private island and feed him to the sharks.
