On the RAW following WrestleMania 36, Big Show challenged Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship in a match that was seen as a dark segment from the prior WrestleMania.
Speaking with Digital Spy, The Big Show had nothing but glowing words for the new WWE Championship holder.
“I’ve been in this business for decades and I’ve seen champions come and go,” Big Show said. “I’ve been a fan of Drew McIntyre for a long time. He has all the talent in the world. He has the size, he has the look, he has the athletic ability, but years ago he didn’t quite put it together.”

He continued, “I saw the match he had with Brock Lesnar and it was absolutely amazing. I saw so much heart and determination and just big star appeal that I seized the opportunity. I wanted to put Drew in the absolute worst condition possible, after surviving a very brutal match with Brock Lesnar, and have him step in the ring with a fresh giant who was going to beat on him and show the world what he was made of.”
