Drew McIntyre Wants To Main Event WrestleMania Night 2 Instead Of Night 1

Until 2019, the question of which WWE show you’d want to main event was almost always answered with WrestleMania. Now though, we have to go “night 1 or night 2?”.

Drew McIntyre had the pleasure of being the first person, alongside Brock Lesnar, to main event WrestleMania Night 2 in 2020, and it seems he’s keen to repeat that feat this year.

Speaking to Forbes, McIntyre admitted that night 2 is much more enticing to him than a night 1 main event slot.

“If I had to pick where I wanted to be, I would obviously pick the last match of the second night just like last year. You can be the main event of Night 1, but the main event of Night 2 is the final, final match. That’s what people talk about. You’re looking to send people home with a smile on their face—or, the people watching at home end the night with a big smile on their face. I got the chance to do it last year, and I hope I get the chance to do it this year. Or, perhaps Lashley’s got crazy momentum, maybe they’ll be frowning after my moment.

He added that he believes he and his WrestleMania 37 opponent Bobby Lashley are on the same level, which will make it unmissable.

“A few of the matches I was involved in, I was trying to pull people up—Randy Orton, obviously, I had to step up to him—but a few times I was trying to pull people up. Right now, I’ve cemented my name this past year, Lashley has stepped up so much this year, we’re both [at the same level], people are talking about this match and that’s the most important thing.

“Whoever’s side you’re on, that’s cool, as long as you’re invested. This is two people who have worked their butts off, for almost 20 years apiece, to get to the top of the card; who were destined for greatness in our early years, left the company—worked so hard to get back to the company.”
