McIntyre responded:

I’m not one of the normal bums you pick to fight, I’m not some punching bag getting paid to turn up and lose. Nice timing by the way, even with a fractured jaw I’m pretty confident I could do 12 rounds with your pillow fists. Nice try, ‘King.’ – Your @WWE Champion https://t.co/iWjPEzKJaV

Fury wrestled and defeated Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia in October 2019. If a match with McIntyre does happen, Saudi Arabia also seems like the most likely location since WWE would probably need to pay Fury a lot. But as of now, because of the pandemic, there are no current plans for WWE to return to Saudi Arabia later this year.
