Drew McIntyre has recalled the story of a fan lunging at him following his Undisputed WWE Championship victory.
Drew began his fourth reign as world champion back on January 9, when he defeated Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell match in Berlin to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Speaking to TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Drew recalled getting into it with a fan who tried to ‘lunge’ at him following his title win.
He said:
“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.
“Does (Green Shirt Guy) sit on his hands all the time? I’ll mess him up if he’s sitting there not making noise because I see him at all these appearances, we’ve taken about 6000 pictures together, so I’ll be telling him next time I see him.
“But yeah, as long as you’re emotionally invested that’s all that matters. There might be people who got free tickets, they might not be sure about WWE, then they check out the show, see the spectacle, see the crowd investment, how into it they are, and find themselves getting lost in it.
“And if they’re not eventually Drew McIntyre takes off his kilt and they get very excited.”
