Top WWE star Drew McIntyre spoke with Adam Silverstein on the Getting Over Wrestling podcast about various topics, including his appreciation for the fans who advocated for him to be in a title match at WrestleMania 41.
McIntyre said, “Yeah, of course. Anyone who says they are not online is a liar. We’re in 2025. The internet is everywhere. It’s so powerful and anybody who says they are not aware of it is an absolute liar. I just happen to weaponize it because I’m smart and sensible. It’s a massive, powerful tool. Why wouldn’t you do all you can with it? I decided to weaponize it and I appreciate all of the fans out there who felt like, ‘Hey, Drew should be in a title match or this match,’ and did some fantasy booking on my behalf. Based on my amount of work the past couple of years, been able to show what I’m truly capable of when I’m unleashed. That’s thanks to who is leading creative right now and letting people loose who you can trust to be themselves and take it as far as they can go creatively on television and off television. I’m on 24/7. I really did appreciate that. At the same time, I guess there are only so many spots at the top of the card. I did question when I talked about Roman for three months and it didn’t really go anywhere. I don’t make the decisions of what the final matches are. I was fully aware there was a year long storyline with Damian Priest and I that has not been told beginning at WrestleMania last year that we’re finally getting the chance to start telling on TV, or I told for the past month and Priest finally had his little say back this week where people finally realized, ‘Oh, this has been going on this entire time. Priest has been benefitting every time McIntyre was screwed.’”
