Drew McIntyre Shares The Match He's Pushing For At CLASH AT THE CASTLE In Glasgow, Scotland

Since turning heel, Drew McIntyre has reestablished himself as one of WWE's biggest stars. He recently signed a new contract with the company and, while the Scottish Warrior is currently nursing an injury, he is expected to headline Clash at the Castle

The next international PLE hails from Glasgow and, like many of his fans, McIntyre hopes to win the World Heavyweight Championship in front of his hometown crowd. 

"As much as I'd love to slap Punk around in front of my friends and family in Glasgow...it's about getting that title back," he tells PWinsider Elite. "You know, having the title for 5 minutes and 46 seconds at WrestleMania was pretty cool and it was a legitimate very special moment. You could tell how much it meant to me."

"It meant having that moment with the fans and my wife and my brother before we went into the other stuff which obviously advanced the stories."

"But I want that title match if [Damian] Priest has still got the title. We had words last week and whatever he said, everyone thinks Priest got one over on Drew. You never get one over on Drew. Nobody gets one over on Drew. Drew is playing chess while Priest is playing with his guyliner."

"I would like to have that title match if he's still the champion in Scotland and finally having that moment with the title and actually keep the title," McIntyre added. "I could never imagined it could potentially be in Glasgow so that's my dream scenario."

McIntyre was injured during last July's Money in the Bank in London and, at the UK PLE before that (also called Clash at the Castle), he failed to dethrone Roman Reigns after Solo Sikoa made his main roster debut.

Needless to say, the former WWE Champion is eager to win the world title in front of a Scottish crowd. 

"This is something that is beyond a dream. I talked about it for years. I spoke about it with yourself and everyone else that would listen to me for years that the UK needs to get a significant event. I've been asking from the day I was in WWE and I always heard the logistics excuse and this and this and suddenly we're doing shows all across the world and places like Australia that have got the craziest time difference."

"Finally, the original Clash at the Castle happened. I was like, 'Oh my goodness, this is a dream come true wrestling in the main event at Clash at the Castle.' I could have done without singing that stupid freaking song afterwards. Nonetheless, it was just an amazing experience. I never thought for a second that hey, we're gonna get a PLE in Scotland. I was smartened up a few months ago that it's gonna happen. I thought, 'Oh my goodness, this is beyond dreams.'"

"Growing up I didn't think about this because it wasn't a real thing and the idea that I get to go back there and be part such a big show while the industry is so hot. The industry wasn't as hot, I can assure you the Scottish were just as crazy and if you think Backlash was something, just wait for the songs. The Scottish fans will be bringing it. If I'm in [something] less than a title match, quite frankly I'll be upset."

Clash at the Castle will take place in Glasgow, Scotland on June 15. We'll be attending the event, so be sure to check back here then for live updates from the show!
