“He’s a Guy That’s Been Scratching and Clawing”- WWE Legend Lauds Drew McIntyre

Christian, the former WWE Superstar, made an appearance on WWE’ s After the Bell along with Corey Graves. Christian talked about his friend, the current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. He praised McIntyre on how he revived his career.

Drew McIntyre was fired from WWE back in 2014. He was initially part of the 3MB stable that never really worked. After being fired, McIntyre worked in the independent circuit and wrestled for TNA, till he made his return to WWE in 2017.

Since his return, he was the NXT champion, RAW tag-team Champion, Royal Rumble winner, and finally pinned Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 to win the WWE title. Christian remarked that he would have loved to do something similar and that he is happy for his friend.

“Drew McIntyre, he’s a guy that’s been scratching and clawing you know? He’s a guy that loves what he does and takes it seriously” Christian began. I’ve never met a guy, or you’d be hard-pressed to find a guy, that’s worked harder than him to get this credibility, to where he’s at in his career right now.

And I was thinking to myself ‘Man, I would love to have heard that reaction from an audience when he pinned Brock Lesnar, absolutely.’ I mean, in my head I heard it. Because he’s a friend of mine, and I’ve wanted that for him for so long.”

Christian said that he was in touch with McIntyre all these years and how he knew McIntyre would reach that level.

“He [McIntyre] and I have had a tonne of discussions over the years, So I know how passionate he is and how he wanted to get to this level. I’m interested to see; you know how the reactions are for him when he comes back. I’m sure that they’re going to be unreal.”

Drew McIntyre had a long journey to reach his current status. When he first came to WWE, Vince McMahon called him the ‘Chosen One’. Now, with a complete makeover, McIntyre is ready to be the next face of WWE.

McIntyre won the title in a crowd less arena at WrestleMania. He didn’t have the grandest audience but, when the global pandemic finally rests, the Champion can make his mark.
