Drew McIntyre chimed in on how WWE fans feel about him.
During a sitdown appearance with SHAK Wrestling, Drew McIntyre, the current WWE Undisputed Champion spoke about the misconception that fans have about him being the bad guy in stories with the likes of CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and many others, but the champion feels he is the last good guy in WWE and he could debate it for hours, without losing a single argument.
“I know how long my current contract runs for, and I can’t think for a second, ‘Well, this is just my role. I’m going to be happy in this role,'” he explained. “I’ve seen stars, historically, get pigeon holed in a certain place, and it’s a great place, it’s amazing to be in WWE and in that place and elevating everyone around you… But, no, not for Drew McIntyre. I know what I’m capable of.”
“Because I’m not the bad guy. I’m the last good guy in WWE,” he said. “If you try to argue with me, debate me, you’ll lose. I’ve done this multiple times. Someone’s said, ‘Oh, you’re the bad guy.’ I’m like, ‘How. Give me an example,’ and I debate. I explain why I am the way I am, what’s happened to me, the PTSD I’ve suffered, ‘Would you not do the same thing?’ And every single person? ‘Yes.’ The last good guy.”
McIntyre is currently expected to defend the Undisputed Championship against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, but only if he can get past Cody Rhodes on the March 6 edition of Friday Night SmackDown when he defends the gold against his bitter foe.
