WWE Champion Drew McIntyre won the title in the empty WWE Performance Center and wasn't given the chance to celebrate that moment with fans. It's thought that people could start returning to shows in the coming months, with August's SummerSlam a rumoured target date for the company to host a show in front of a live audience again.
During a recent interview with WrestleJoy, McIntyre shared his excitement to compete before a crowd again.
"I can’t wait for that moment until everybody can get back together," he said. "I want to be the first one that walks out there. I don’t want any dark matches. I don’t want any match prior. I want to walk down there as champion and see how the crowd responds."
"I will have some butterflies. They’re butterflies of excitement," McIntyre admitted about performing in front of a crowd again. "There’ll be some nerves. But I really do hope that we don’t have that dark match and I do get the opportunity to walk out there with the title and raise it up there and say, ‘I didn’t quite get my WrestleMania moment but this is our fricking wrestling moment.'"
Needless to say, it's going to be fun seeing the reaction fans have to McIntyre and other Superstars after watching them on TV these past few months...
