Drew McIntyre surprises Special Olympics Athletes

While WWE superstar Drew McIntyre has been away from title bouts for the past few months, he certainly hasn’t shied away from his social responsibilities.

McIntyre has been the champion ambassador for the Special Olympics for almost a year now. He also started the School of Strength program for people to train and work out at home. The immensely famous star recently dropped by to surprise fans and athletes at the Tennessee Special Olympics.

The Special Olympics’ Twitter handle shared a video of the star spending time with the athletes and sharing his experience.

“I knew I’d be inspired, but I didn’t realize the level that we’d get to and just how much I really want to do and how much I really want to be involved,” said Drew. In the video, he also talks about being more involved with the community, wanting to give back to the place he began from.

The WWE has always contributed to the betterment of society as a whole. Being linked with the Special Olympics program has been another way through which the WWE world can support the fans and give back to the community for the love and support they show.

Drew to take Sami Zayn on in a Steel cage Match

In the past few weeks, the ‘Master Strategist’ Sami Zayn has always escaped the shackles of Drew. Zayn has come up with ways to exit through the aisles in consecutive matches.

A lumberjack match was announced to stop Sami from escaping, but he somehow did it again. This has eventually led to the two being locked up in a steel cage which nobody can run from.

Apart from this, it is also being speculated that the Scottish Warrior will face off against Roman Reigns in the upcoming Sumer Slam special event.

The two have had bouts in the past, but not recently. Seeing as Drew has not had a title bout, this could be a lead-up to something big.
