Drew McIntyre shares his thoughts on the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference.
The road to WrestleMania 40 heated up at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event on February 8. The press conference ended with The Rock slapping Cody Rhodes after “The American Nightmare” chose to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
On February 9, Drew McIntyre took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the situation.
“Shall we talk about that press conference, then? Rock, Roman, Cody. Was Seth there? I can’t remember. No, no, he was there,” Drew McIntyre said. “Before I get to Seth, and I will get to Seth, let’s talk about Cody. Well done. You finally found your balls and made the right call. Good for you. It just took some McIntyre truth bombs and beating your ass on Monday for playing games with everybody, but you go and finish that story, kid. Congratulations.
Drew McIntyre: WWE RAW Needs A Change
Drew McIntyre then shifted his focus to Seth Rollins and took issue with the way he let everyone at the press conference talk down to him. He stated that RAW needs a change, as Rollins is not up to the job.
“Now, our World Heavyweight Champion, he came out on the stage, danced, said a whole bunch of nothing,” Drew McIntyre said. “Then [he] stood by the side as the others talked down to him, talked down about the title, talked down about our locker room. The man is not the leader you think he is. I would never let anyone, not Cody, not The Rock, certainly not Roman, talk about my title in that way. Have some pride, mate. Take the attention. It’s clear more than ever, RAW needs a change. It’s clear Seth isn’t up to the job, mentally as well as physically now. Pat McAfee even called Seth the bloody forgotten name in all of this at the start of the presser. Come on, man.
“People forgot his name because he’s allowed it, played the clown. He’s been overshadowed. Enough is enough, and it’s time for a change. Last night was a bunch of chosen ones when the original Chosen One was left at home. I hope you’re all seeing now that I’m the only person in this place who has been telling you the truth the entire time. The only one who has actually stuck by my convictions. There’s a lot of moving parts going on right now, a lot of possible roads. But they all lead to the same destination at WrestleMania. Drew McIntyre, World Heavyweight Champion.”
WrestleZone will continue to monitor the situation and provide information as it becomes available.
