Drew McIntyre Comments on “What CM Punk And Roman Reigns Said About Me Didn’t Bother Me, It Was Stuff About The Title And SmackDown”
As noted before, the February 2nd WWE RAW show featured Roman Reigns officially choosing CM Punk and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for his title match at WrestleMania 42. Reigns and Punk’s promo segment was notable for both Reigns and Punk’s insults barrage directed at Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and the SmackDown brand.
A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast featured McIntyre as the guest. One of the topics discussed included McIntyre’s thoughts about how he was not bothered by what Reigns and Punk said about him but he was legitimately upset over the negative stuff they said about his title and SmackDown.
“That’s the part [speaking about the title] that more got my attention. I don’t care, say whatever you want about me. I can protect myself and look after myself verbally. They weren’t even that bad. Whatever one person said, the other one defended me. It was the stuff about the title and SmackDown, making it feel a little less than when they’re such big superstars. Just focus on the title and each other. I went out, did a Braveheart speech on Friday because I was legitimately upset. As far as I’m concerned, it’s done. It seems to be done now. They’re focused on their stuff, we’re focused on our stuff. Hopefully, the SmackDown roster saw that and said, ‘Every time I’m in that ring, I’m going to bring it 150% and show you all that I belong on this show, and SmackDown is the A show.’ I remember being in the locker room when Taker was in charge and he would get so angry when he saw the numbers and Raw was beating us on a tour. Go out there, bust your ass, and if you don’t I’ll kick you out the door. I’m very quiet back there, I’ll give you advice when you come to me, but if you’re bringing the show down, I’ll suddenly appear in front of you like magic and I’ll kick your ass out the door.”
