The Raw Roast: Drew McIntyre's Response to the Top Dogs
In a recent episode of WWE's Raw, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and Roman Reigns delivered a powerful promo, setting the stage for their main event match at WrestleMania 42. However, amidst their hype, they took some serious jabs at WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, implying he was a lesser talent on a lesser show.
But here's where it gets controversial... McIntyre wasn't going to take this lying down. On tonight's SmackDown (Feb. 6), after enduring separate attacks from Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu, Drew finally had his say.
He expressed his disappointment, stating that he expected more from both Punk and Reigns. Drew made it clear that it wasn't the personal attacks that frustrated him the most, but rather the attempt to diminish SmackDown and his championship status. He declared it a war, a challenge to the entire WWE roster.
Drew defended his legacy, reminding everyone that he never took a day off during the pandemic, carrying the WWE through those tough times. He invoked the names of legendary WWE champions like Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and The Rock, emphasizing that he stands shoulder to shoulder with these icons. McIntyre called out Punk and Roman, questioning their claims that he wasn't the true number one champion.
He took aim at Reigns, suggesting that he needed his entire family to maintain his top spot, and didn't shy away from addressing Punk's injury history, referring to him as "Fragile Phil." Drew made it clear that part-timers and those who quit don't measure up to the WWE Champion.
