Drew McIntyre genuinely upset a fan with WWE Championship win.
The Scottish Warrior has been riding high since winning the Undisputed WWE Championship two weeks ago. McIntyre pulled off an upset against Cody Rhodes in their steel cage main event on SmackDown.
The closing stretch saw Jacob Fatu return, attacking McIntyre and exchanging blows with Rhodes. The distraction allowed McIntyre to escape the cage and claim the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Last week on WWE SmackDown, McIntyre revealed he added a secret stipulation to his steel cage match contract that prevented Rhodes from immediately invoking a rematch. Rhodes later declared for the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match.
Drew McIntyre recalls crazy fan interaction
During a new interview on TMZ’s Inside The Ring, McIntyre shared a wild fan encounter from last week. The fan, upset with his title win, “lunged at me” during a photo-op, according to the Undisputed WWE Champion.
“There was one incident actually at a show last week, somebody won a raffle to meet a superstar backstage, and they asked me to do it. I said ‘are you sure? Cody is on the show. He’s the big good guy, I’m kinda controversial in the middle guy’. They said no no, everyone wants to see you.
“The guy came back and lunged at me and did say ‘that’s Cody’s title!’ That meant security had to get between us, and I calmed him down, we got a picture together, said we’ll get a picture with the title. He was really genuinely upset, it was great.
“Because I knew he was so legitimately upset, as soon as we took the picture he started mouthing off again so I stepped back, moved the security guard between us, and raised the title, just went ‘hahaha’ like a child.
“I want fans like that, as long as you’re passionate and making noise, there’s nothing worse than somebody just sitting there on their hands not making noise whatsoever.” [H/T: WrestleTalk]
