Drew McIntyre Names WWE Star He Wants To Face At UK Stadium Show

WWE

Drew McIntyre has revealed who wants to face at the upcoming WWE UK stadium show.

WWE will host a Premium Live Event at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on September 3.

A number of potential opponents have been rumored for Drew McIntyre, who had been very vocal about wanting WWE to return to the UK for a major show.

Speaking with BT Sport, McIntyre revealed that he’d like to challenge for the WWE Universal Championship at the stadium show.

When asked who he’d rather face, out of Roman Reigns, Gunther or boxer Tyson Fury, McIntyre said:

Roman, he’s the champion. You know, that’s a situation that I’ve been away from the title for a long time, Roman has been so dominant, doing the best work of his career. We are on a collision course, it is five months away. If somehow, we can avoid each other for five months, that would be such a big match, especially on U.K soil. I can’t even imagine the atmosphere for that match.

“When it comes to Gunther, that’s a match himself, myself have been talking about for a long time and we’ve never had a big singles match but for right now, I think it’s a case of let’s educate the world on the big stage, who Gunther, formerly WALTER is and we know what he can do. Most of the hardcore wrestling fans know what he can do but let’s just get the general public familiar with him, see what he’s capable of, see how physical he is and make them also want, ‘Oh man, imagine what Drew and WALTER could do together –’ Gunther, sorry.

“Fury, he’s the one I’ve been talking about. He’s the one I’ve been going back and forth (with), throwing digs at each other for the past — it’s been over two years now I think. Yeah, that’s wild. Throwing it back and forth at each other and that’s the one where I said over and over, if it takes something a little out of the box that will draw the attention, not just of the WWE fans or the wrestling fans but of the general public.

“I can’t think of anything bigger in WWE or sports-related than Drew McIntyre and Fury and I know just being around the man, watching the man, his involvement with WWE, how much he enjoys our product, he’s got passion for WWE, clearly entertaining as well and we could do some fun stuff so if it ends up Drew-Fury, I’m good with that as well because that’ll get a lot of people talking but of course I’d pick the title match in the U.K in the main event.

McIntyre is slated to face Reigns during the upcoming UK tour. The duo have clashed at a number of house shows in recent months, and met in multi-man action after Monday’s edition of WWE Raw went off the air.
