Drew McIntyre Opens Up On Winning WWE Championship In Front Of Fans

Drew McIntyre has opened up on finally winning the WWE Championship in front of live fans on SmackDown in Berlin.

Drew McIntyre began his fourth reign as World Champion in WWE back on January 9, when he defeated Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell main event in Berlin.

This marked Drew’s first official title reign in front of live fans, with his prior two reigns taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic, while his third ended in just minutes thanks to a Damian Priest cash in at WrestleMania 40.

Speaking to TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Drew opened up on finally being able to win the title in front of fans, and how ‘Shakespeare couldn’t have written it any better’.

He said:

“Amazing, it felt absolutely unbelievable. I think a lot of people had got to the point where they thought Drew McIntyre wasn’t going to be World Champion ever again, and was never gonna hold the title in front of a live crowd with the amount of times I’ve been screwed over the past few years.

“But I always believed, I just needed the right opportunity and Shakespeare couldn’t have written it any better the way it all went down.

“I beat Cody Rhodes, the face of the company, in Berlin, which makes me the new face of the company, and my first defence the next night was in Glasgow, Scotland, where it all began, where I first started wrestling at 15 years old, and I was able to walk out there with the WWE Championship and fulfil the promise I made years ago where I told everybody back home in Scotland I’m gonna return one day champion, with the championship belt.”
