Drew McIntyre Discusses Using ‘Broken Dreams’ At WWE Clash At The Castle

WWE

The first WWE stadium show in over 30 years is not officially in the books, with WWE Clash at the Castle taking place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales last Saturday night.

The main event saw Roman Reigns face Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, with Reigns crushing the hearts of the United Kingdom, retaining the titles thanks to NXT star Solo Sikoa.

McIntyre made news before he even stepped into the ring, finally bringing back his old ‘Broken Dreams’ theme song from his first run in the company, which many fans have been asking to make a comeback.

McIntyre spoke to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport after the show, where he was asked about using the song on the show. Drew said that he has been pushing to use the song for a long time.

He said:

“I’ve been pushing it [for] a very long time. I didn’t think it finally bite, but I had a conversation with Hunter, I had a conversation with Kevin Dunn, and tried to explain, you know, like I think this is the time. The crowd we’re gonna have is a knowledgeable crowd, they know my history, it’s very much a full-circle moment for me, and I feel that’s very much part of my story, and I knew it would get the pop from the live crowd. I knew people online would get a kick out of it, but for me, hearing that, it would remind me of how far I’ve come. Our production team put together the best videos, Adam, Ben, and the gang in the studio, just the best work imaginable. I saw that and again, the goosebumps were going crazy, trying to hold the tears back. I was so laser-focused, I was like, what is going on here right now?”

Drew spoke about the future of the song, and whether it was a one time thing or if he would use it again.

He said:

“I feel like when it’s appropriate, its gonna pop up. It is a little slower, but some of the lyrics in there feel very appropriate to my journey and what I intend to do with Roman. He’s always been my Kryptonite, he’s always found a way around Drew McIntyre, be it back in the day when I first came back, he always had my number by himself. When I found my true self, he found his true self. Turns out his true self is listening to a bunch of yes men and letting his head get big. When he comes against a legitimate challenger like a Drew McIntyre or a Brock Lesnar, he throws everything and the kitchen sink or new family members at them so he can keep hold of those titles. But it can’t last forever,”

McIntyre looks set to lock horns with Karrion Kross on SmackDown going forward following their ongoing issues since Kross’ return.
