Drew McIntyre has addressed the criticism of some fans towards WWE for booking a feud between he and Damian Priest heading into WrestleMania 41.
After Damian Priest eliminated Drew McIntyre from both the 2025 Royal Rumble and the men’s Elimination Chamber match, The Scottish Warrior has spent the last few weeks in pursuit of the former World Heavyweight Champion.
With the pair at each other’s throats in the weeks since Elimination Chamber it seems as if WWE are positioning them for a singles match at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas next month.
While no official announcement has been made, McIntyre was asked about the possibility of facing Priest at the Grandest Stage of Them All whilst speaking with The Daily Star.
Addressing the negative reaction from some fans to the match, McIntyre said:
“I appreciated when the fans reaction was, oh my goodness, it’s Priest and Drew, there’s nothing there. I’m like bloody hell, give us a chance to tell the story. The thing with Priest has been going on since last year’s WrestleMania when he cashed in on me after I was assaulted by Punk.
“He doesn’t know how to succeed unless it is at my expense. Elimination Chamber I claymore Cena. Instead of going ‘I’ll let Drew pin Cena first’, he eliminates me. It’s the only way he knows how to succeed because he is a vulture. A parasite. A big emo vulture.
“Finally, he’s got my attention because they’ve got nothing else. I stomped him in his big stupid head last week and if he wants to keep coming back for more, if it goes all the way to Mania, it’s a year in the making story and he deserves the biggest stage of all to get his stupid looking arse kicked.”
Six matches have been officially announced for WrestleMania 41 thus far, the latest being Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk, which was confirmed for Las Vegas after the chaotic end to Friday’s SmackDown in Bologna.
