In a bold and confident move, WWE star Drew McIntyre took to social media to send a message to his fellow Superstars on the RAW locker room. The Scottish Warrior, who was forced to pull out of the King of the Ring Tournament due to injury, didn’t hold back in his assessment of his peers.
McIntyre claimed that Seth Rollins was at his best when facing him, implying that he brings out the best in others. He also took a jab at Jey Uso, saying that he needed to use more than two moves to keep up with him. The WWE Superstar even took a subtle dig at CM Punk, suggesting that he’s trying to prove himself against him.
Perhaps the most striking statement, however, was McIntyre’s claim that he’s responsible for bringing out the best in others. The WWE star seemed to imply that he’s the driving force behind his opponents’ success, and that they need him to reach their full potential.
Meanwhile, wrestling legend Vince Russo had a differing opinion on McIntyre’s recent promo with World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest. Speaking on Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show, Russo believed that McIntyre should have attacked Priest to get a strong reaction from the crowd. Russo noted that the promotion appears to be slowly turning Priest babyface, and a shocking attack from McIntyre could have added an extra layer of drama to their storyline.
In the meantime, Jey Uso has been thriving in the King of the Ring Tournament, replacing McIntyre after his injury. Uso defeated Ilja Dragunov on Monday’s episode of WWE RAW and is set to face Gunther next week. The winner of that match will advance to the finals at the premium live event in Saudi Arabia on May 25.
Despite McIntyre’s bold claims, it remains to be seen how his injury will affect his momentum in the WWE. However, one thing is certain – the Scottish Warrior is not afraid to speak his mind and assert his dominance in the RAW locker room. As the WWE universe looks on, it will be fascinating to see how McIntyre’s bold message is received by his fellow Superstars.
