Drew McIntyre On How Relationship With Vince McMahon Has Changed

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre recently opened up about his relationship with the Chairman, Vince McMahon.

Since McIntyre’s return to the WWE main roster in 2018, the Scotsman has been presented as one of WWE’s top stars. Speaking with Inside The Ropes, McIntyre noted that he has learned a lot through one-on-one talks with McMahon.

Noting that he built trust with McMahon over time, McIntyre said:

“The opportunity to have more one on one time with the boss, if you’re involved in more significant segments, and obviously opening RAW most weeks, having long matches, I would get the chance to be in his office a lot more so it was awesome in the sense of building a relationship which is important in any job, to have a relationship with your boss, especially WWE. And also learn.

“Every time I was in there, it’s always something he would say, I’d be like, ‘Wow, of course!’ I’m trying not to sell it but a light bulb just went off. It’s something obvious to him, but not obvious to myself. So I got to learn a lot during that period, but also start building that trust with him where he can trust me to go out on television and know my character. And if I feel something, go in in that direction.

“And also outside the ring, you know, interviews and representing the company. Building that trust during that time, that was very important to me to keep doing that. I feel like I’ve done it to a significant degree now that he knows he can put me in any situation, and trust me to represent the company and knock it out of the park.”

Many fans speculated that McIntyre will join the SmackDown roster during the upcoming WWE Draft. Local advertising has revealed that McIntyre will be involved in a huge match during the October 1 edition of SmackDown.
