Bleacher Report caught up with Drew McIntyre following his big win at the
Royal Rumble PPV and asked him about challenging Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at this year's
WrestleMania.
"I know I've got a beast breathing down my neck," he admitted. "There's nobody in the world like Brock at any sport. And I know he's coming for me. Some people get upset like, 'Oh, Brock Lesnar, he doesn't show up to work and blah blah blah blah.' I mean, to be fair, he signed a contract where he doesn't have to. We can't hold that against him."
"What I hold against him is the fact he's got our title," McIntyre added. "We need that title on TV. We need it in the live events. That's a very important part of RAW, and I want it back."
Seth Rollins had the same attitude last year and it would be great to see the WWE title back on RAW each week. For what it's worth, McIntyre is confident he can slay The Beast at the Show of Shows.
"I match him for size, I match him for speed, and not only that, I match him for experience—and I'm not sitting at home all the time, chilling out. Once-in-a-lifetime athlete that he is, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, and I can match up in every other area. And as soon as he makes a mistake, which he does, just not very often, I will exploit it, and I'll win that title."
