Drew McIntyre Articles - Page 6

2020 belonged to Drew McIntyre. McIntyre, who is notoriously known for being released by WWE after failing to become the “Chosen One” Mr. McMahon thought he would be, fulfilled his prophecy and became the WWE Champion by defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. It was a long road that McIntyre had to travel to get to […]

After besting The Viking Raiders in the first round of the SmackDown Interim Tag Team Tournament, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus were feeling pretty darn good. While the match was far from a cakewalk, as Ivar and Erik are two of the biggest, baddest dudes in WWE, they were able to come out on top and […]

And just like that, there were seven, WWE fans. As SmackDown prepares to run an eight-team tournament to decide on the next challengers for The Usos’ SmackDown Tag Team Championship Titles, fans now know the first team advancing to the semi-finals, as former Univeral Champions Drew McIntyre and Sheamus, collectively and humorously known as the […]

Drew McIntyre does not like The Bloodline one bit. He doesn’t like that he has lost every single WWE title match he’s wrestled against Roman Reigns, doesn’t like that Solo Sikoa ruined his big match at Clash at the Castle, and doesn’t like that The Usos – plus Sami Zayn – jump from show to […]

After making his surprise return to WWE on the final SmackDown of the calendar year, Drew McIntyre was asked by Kayla Braxton what it was like to be back in the promotion, in his former hometown no less, after a month away with injury. “Amazing, great, fantastic, McIntyre said. “We’re back in Tampa, Florida, the […]

Folks, it’s official; Kevin Owens will be the 10th and final member of the men’s namesake match at WWE Survivor Series WarGames. While fans both at home and in the arena weren’t too surprised by the appearance of “The Prize Fighter,” as he was the most logical 10th man for the match, his status heading […]

Since re-debuting in the WWE Universe roughly three months ago, making an appearance at the end of the first SmackDown of the month of August, Karrion Kross has had it out for Drew McIntyre. Though the duo have only technically wrestled twice on WWE televised programming, first at Extreme Rules in a strap match that […]

Drew McIntyre just wants a fair shake against Karrion Kross in a WWE ring – no fireballs, no pepper spray, just a fair, even match between two in-ring performers to see who is the better in-ring wrestler. But how can the “Scottish Warrior” ensure that would happen? Would he ask for an empty arena match? […]

To paraphrase Bill Murray in Ghostbusters: Karrion Kross came (to WWE’s Extreme Rules), he saw (Drew Mcintyre in the ring), he kicked some (Drew McIntyre) A–. Earning his first true evaluation since returning WWE in August – no offense to Drew Gulak – Kross got into the ring with one of the baddest babyfaces on […]

What happens when a participant in a strap match refuses to put on the strap? Does the match just start without the stipulation being fulfilled? Or is it a case where the bell won’t ring until the rules are fulfilled? Well, the WWE Universe found out firsthand at Extreme Rules, as Karrion Kross, in a […]

After months of anticipation, Karrion Kross and Drew McIntyre are finally scheduled to face off, in a strap match no less, within the WWE Universe. Finally, the timing will be right to see who the next-biggest star on SmackDown is behind Roman Reigns and who is the rightful challenger for the “Head of the Table’s” […]

Drew McIntyre is WWE’s workhorse. Though he hasn’t held a title since February of 2021, when he was brutally beaten down by Bobby Lashley before The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, McIntyre has remained a steady contributor to WWE’s weekly television, “Premium Live Event,” and even house show circuit, having wrestled […]

Do you recall how WWE’s Clash at the Castle ended? No, not when Roman Reigns defeated Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship; after that, when Tyson Fury took to the ring, congratulated McIntyre for working hard in front of his home crowd, and then began singing acapella classic rock karaoke songs in the […]

When Drew McIntyre took the ring in Cardiff, Wales, for a bout with Roman Reigns for a match at WWE’s Clash at the Castle, the odds were always stacked against him, Sure, McIntyre had 60,000 fans cheering him on, hoping for nothing more than to see the hometown kid come away from the first UK […]

Fresh off the heels of one of the most exciting SummerSlams in recent memory, WWE is set to run its next “Premium Live Event” in Cardiff, Wales, where the stars of RAW and SmackDown will wrestle at Clash at the Castle. Fans will finally be afforded a chance to see the trio of Dakota Kai, […]

As you may or may not have noticed, Paul Heyman has been curiously absent from WWE television since he suffered a slam from Brock Lesnar at when things broke down outside the ring during the main event of SummerSlam. Granted, he has made a few verbal cameos, including an off-camera promo at the start of […]

In a little less than a week, Drew McIntyre will be wrestling the most important match of his WWE career, nay his wrestling career, period, when he throws down in the main event of Clash at the Castle versus the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Taking the ring in Cardiff, Wales, on the very […]

When Roman Reigns took care of business against Brock Lesnar at WWE’s SummerSlam, it cleared the way for the biggest roadblock in the way of the “Head of the Table’s” match to two-straight years with the WWE Universal Champion. As he often points out in his promos, Reigns has pretty much taken care of every […]

WWE’s Kevin Owens is a darn good professional wrestler. He’s had fantastic matches everywhere from Bingo Halls to PWG, ROH, and NXT, and will forever be remembered as the man who wrestled “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in his final match as a professional wrestler as one of the two main events of WrestleMania 38. He’s […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque tweeted out “… and we’re just getting started” after the surprising returns/re-debuts of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Io Shirai-turned-Iyo Sky, it felt like a pretty darn big deal to the WWE Universe. After years of the talent pipeline from the indies to The Fed going decidedly one way, with dozens […]

It’s officially been a week since Vince McMahon retired from the WWE, and frankly, not much has changed. Sure, Madusa returned to NXT to help out Roxanne Perez, Brock Lesnar maybe almost quit, and Goldberg was reportedly called to almost take his place, but since then, other than the absence of the 24/7 Championship and […]

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have wrestled about a dozen times since joining the WWE Universe. … actually, that isn’t correct. No, the duo have wrestled dozens of times, plural, with 74 recorded contests as either friends or foes, according to the fine folks over at Cagematch. They’ve wrestled in teams, wrestled solo, and even taken […]

When news broke that Drew McIntyre was booked for a match with Sheamus to decide who would get first dibs against the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Clash at the Castle, it felt weird. Why line up another contender for a pair of belts that are already being wrestled for at SummerSlam? Why do so […]

Just when you thought that this week’s edition of SmackDown couldn’t be any more must-watch, as it presents the first chance for Vince McMahon to put himself on WWE television in a riotous attempt to counter-program against his most recent allegations of impropriety, the promotion – which is still having its on-screen/in-ring product booked by […]

It’s SummerSlam season, baby! The pay-per-view, dubbed “The Biggest Party of the Summer”, will return on July 30 in Nashville, Tennessee. Because of that, the WWE is working hard to start promoting their second-biggest pay-per-view of the year. One of the promotional materials for SummerSlam involve a certain Scottish Psychopath from Tennessee. Drew McIntyre, the […]

Money in the Bank is an unusual Premium Live Event for WWE. It has championship bouts, excitement, and the single most intriguing match stipulation in all of sports entertainment, the Money in the Bank contract, which grants its holder an opportunity to insert themselves into any title match regardless of how far along it may […]

After all seven participants came down to the ring before the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match on WWE‘s Premium Live Event with the exact same name, it looked like fans were in store for an incredible match. Who would win? Riddle? Drew McIntyre? Sheamus? Surely it wouldn’t be Madcap Moss but how about […]

It’s here, it’s finally here: WWE‘s Money in the Bank 2022 is upon us. Though it may not get the same hype as, say, WrestleMania or SummerSlam, Money in the Bank is one of the more consequential premium live events of the WWE calendar year, as the show’s namesake ladder match presents two wrestlers, one […]

Anytime Sheamus and Drew McIntyre get in a WWE ring together, it’s going to be a good time… well, at last for the fans in attendance, the duo clearly don’t like each other and they clearly don’t mind showing it. Though they have wrestled well over 100 times if you count house shows, anytime the […]

On the previous edition of WWE’s SmackDown, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus earned double disqualifications to end their match. Now normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal; many a match on WWE TV ends without the 1-2-3, and only a few folks have a problem with it. No, the problem with this particular ending was that […]

Qualifying matches in WWE and in any wrestling promotion are easy; win the match, and you qualify for whatever is up for grabs, lose the match and you don’t. It’s black and white, day, and night, and really shouldn’t have much ambiguity one way or another. But what happens when two wrestlers are disqualified at […]

Brock Lesnar is this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble Winner, last eliminating Drew McIntyre, giving him a shot at the champion of his choice at Wrestlemania 38. We got an interesting matchup as the first two competitors in this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble: AJ Styles at #1 and the Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura at #2. Both […]
