Drew McIntyre isn’t interested in teaming with Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, or anyone who wishes to stand up against SmackDown’s dominant Bloodline.
On a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump” podcast, McIntyre explained his reasoning, saying his focus is on RAW and the World Heavyweight Championship. He said,
“When I’m world champion, I will not give a darn. I’m trying really hard not to swear today. I don’t give a damn what’s going on at SmackDown when I’m world champion. I didn’t enunciate my words clearly [on Raw], but what I said was, if SmackDown’s on fire, I don’t care if they’re on their knees, begging for my help. I would not pee on them to put that fire out. My responsibility is to my people on Raw. It’s that simple.
“His argument, he’s trying to put together some Avenger team or something. If you look up that one scene with Wolverine, when he’s asked to assist in the battle, his reaction, that’s pretty much where Drew McIntyre’s at if you’re asking for my help.”
McIntyre has had his issues with The Bloodline as it was the interference of Solo Sikoa who cost him in his title match with Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle.
Drew McIntyre will face World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. McIntyre earned the match by winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
Drew McIntyre’s Focus on RAW and the World Heavyweight Championship
In the world of professional wrestling, alliances and rivalries are constantly shifting, and wrestlers often find themselves teaming up with unexpected partners to take on common enemies. However, one wrestler who is not interested in joining forces with anyone against SmackDown’s dominant faction, The Bloodline, is Drew McIntyre.
During a recent episode of WWE’s “The Bump” podcast, McIntyre made it clear that his focus is solely on RAW and the pursuit of the World Heavyweight Championship. He expressed his indifference towards the happenings on SmackDown, stating, “When I’m world champion, I will not give a darn. I don’t give a damn what’s going on at SmackDown when I’m world champion.”
McIntyre emphasized that his responsibility lies with the people on RAW and that he would not lend a helping hand to SmackDown, even if they were in desperate need. He compared his stance to a memorable scene from the X-Men franchise, saying, “His argument, he’s trying to put together some Avenger team or something. If you look up that one scene with Wolverine when he’s asked to assist in the battle, his reaction, that’s pretty much where Drew McIntyre’s at if you’re asking for my help.”
This declaration from McIntyre comes as no surprise considering his recent encounters with The Bloodline. In his title match against Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle, McIntyre was thwarted by the interference of Solo Sikoa, a member of The Bloodline. This interference cost him the opportunity to capture the World Heavyweight Championship.
Despite this setback, McIntyre has not let it deter him from his ultimate goal. He has earned a chance at redemption by winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber match and securing a match against current World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
McIntyre’s unwavering focus and determination to become the World Heavyweight Champion demonstrate his commitment to RAW and his refusal to be distracted by the happenings on SmackDown. While other wrestlers may be eager to form alliances and stand up against The Bloodline, McIntyre remains resolute in his pursuit of championship glory.
As WrestleMania 40 approaches, fans eagerly anticipate the clash between McIntyre and Rollins. It will be a battle between two formidable competitors, each with their own motivations and aspirations. McIntyre’s refusal to join forces against The Bloodline only adds to the intrigue surrounding this highly anticipated match.
In the unpredictable world of professional wrestling, alliances can be formed and broken in an instant. However, Drew McIntyre’s singular focus on RAW and the World Heavyweight Championship sets him apart from his peers. Whether he succeeds in his quest or not, McIntyre’s unwavering determination serves as an inspiration to aspiring wrestlers and fans alike.
