Former 2-time WWE Champion Drew McIntyre was drafted to the SmackDown brand after three years on Raw since his call-up from NXT back in 2018.
McIntyre was interviewed on Talking Smack about his new home on Friday nights, where he spoke about his goals on SmackDown.
McIntyre made it clear that he wants to be the one to take down Roman Reigns and win the Universal Championship, saying it would be the biggest moment of his career. Drew said:
“It would mean a lot to me. You know it’s interesting, Roman and I have quite the history since I’ve returned to WWE and perhaps the roles are a little bit reversed. I’ve been watching what Roman’s been doing over this past year and I might not like how he does things a lot of the time but he is operating at a different level. He always talks about these levels, and right now he is at the absolute top. To be honest, not just the top of SmackDown, but the top of this industry. I want Roman. I want that match. I tangled with him last year. He needed a bit of help to get that victory, but I know I can take him down. As much as winning those two WWE Championships meant to me, where Roman’s at right now, taking him down, taking the Universal Championship would be the biggest moment of Drew McIntyre’s career.”
McIntyre and Reigns daced off at WWE Survivor Series 2020, back when McIntyre was WWE Champion. Reigns would end up victorious in that match.
