In a shocking revelation, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre has made some serious accusations against WWE officials, suggesting that they were under the influence during the recent draft.
The Scottish Warrior expressed his frustration and disappointment on The Pat McAfee Show, claiming that the officials’ decision-making was impaired due to their alleged intoxication.
McIntyre was drafted to RAW in the third round of Night 2, alongside other notable wrestlers like Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega. However, he was baffled by the decision, stating that it didn’t anger him but rather perplexed him.
He went on to accuse RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis of being drunk during the draft process.
The former WWE Champion jokingly suggested that the APA, comprising Ron Simmons and John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield, who are known for their heavy drinking, might have been getting the general managers drunk from Friday to Monday.
McIntyre’s comments have sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling community, with many fans and pundits alike questioning the competence of WWE officials.
Despite his frustration with the draft, McIntyre opened up about his childhood in Scotland and how watching Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin’s iconic Submission Match at WrestleMania 13 inspired him to become a professional wrestler.
He praised the match for telling a perfect story, combining physicality with an emotional connection with the audience – an essential element in professional wrestling.
McIntyre began training to become a professional wrestler at just 15 years old and eventually moved to England to hone his skills. He worked for independent promotions before getting signed by WWE in late 2007.
The Scottish Warrior’s accusations have sparked a heated debate about the decision-making process within WWE, with many calling for greater accountability and transparency.
As the wrestling world continues to grapple with McIntyre’s allegations, one thing is certain – the WWE needs to take a hard look at its internal processes and ensure that its officials are making informed decisions that benefit the company and its talent.
Until then, the controversy surrounding the draft will continue to simmer, casting a shadow over the upcoming events in the WWE calendar.
