Drew McIntyre won last Sunday's Royal Rumble match and fans are now 100% behind him as he gets ready to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. In the video below, the Scottish Superstar talks about that fateful moment he used a Claymore Kick to send the Beast over the top rope during that match.
"That Claymore, I ripped his head off and took him over the top rope, like I don’t know if I’ve caught anybody that flush with a kick before, but it was good enough to take out Brock Lesnar," he says. "No matter what, I know he’s coming for me, and I’ve got a secret weapon. And it’s that boomstick I call the Claymore."
McIntyre went on to talk about finding his groove in WWE by being allowed to be himself both on the mic and in the ring and admitted that he now feels like the "Chosen One" name he was given once upon a time is something that's finally relevant to him today.
"I think now the fans have been kind of through the journey with me," he said of the fans. "And it feels more like they’re kind of choosing now, and it feels kind of cool to be like their chosen one. I see everything everyone is saying, and I appreciate it. Everyone knows my story. I don’t look like the typical underdog.
I’m 6’5″. I’m Scottish. I’m hairy. I beat people up, but I am an underdog. And people love an underdog story." Check out more comments from McIntyre in the video below:
