“After 8pm”: Drew McIntyre Takes Cheeky Shot at Tama Tonga Amid Fan Backlash Against the Bloodline

The rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has been one of WWE’s hottest over the year. The two of them have maintained tensions since The Best in the World’s return to the company. Starring in multiple segments despite not having seen each other in a head-to-head match due to their injuries and it seems like this rivalry has turned McIntyre into one of the biggest trolls. So much so that no one is safe from his verbal jibes. The Scotsman just took a shot, but it wasn’t Punk on the receiving end. Instead, it was the Bloodline member, Tama Tonga.

The Scottish Warrior compares Tama Tonga to the Gremlins

The latest edition of SmackDown saw the quarterfinals of the King and Queen of the Rings Tournament. In a backstage segment on the show, Tama Tonga was hyping himself up for his match against LA Knight. And in order to do so, he was making some rather interesting sounds. This led Drew McIntyre to tweet, “I thought we all agreed not to feed Tama after 8 p.m.”. Through it, he compared the Bloodline member to the Mogwais and Gremlins from the Gremlins franchise. That’s because if you feed the Mogwais after midnight, they turn into Gremlins.

Drew McIntyre surely knows how to roast fellow wrestlers. But for now, he should be setting his sights on his next opponent. Making an enemy in Punk already cost him his title once, so making more enemies would only lead him further away from the World Heavyweight Championship. And he surely would not want that.

Instead, he would want to win the gold as he faces Damien Priest. But where would the two clash?

Drew McIntyre faces Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle 2024

Drew McIntyre enjoyed being the World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 40 for a few minutes. Until Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase. From that moment on, the Scot was clear that his goal was to regain this title. Despite CM Punk meddling on a few occasions. However, Priest recently guaranteed the Scottish Warrior a starting shot once he recovered from the elbow injury he’s dealing with.

As reported by Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Drew McIntyre is expected to challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship on June 15 at Clash at the Castle 2024. A premium live event to be held in Glasgow, Scotland. The fight is not official yet. But the expectation is that it will be in the coming weeks. Without a doubt, it can be a really special moment for Drew McIntyre. As he can win the world title in front of his home crowd. What do you think? Will he be able to reclaim his title against the priest?
