Drew McIntyre Notes: Royal Rumble, Saturday PPVs, Ricochet, More
Added 2021-11-18 23:28:22 +0000 UTCFightful spoke with Drew McIntyre, who agreed that WWE Survivor Series should have some additional stakes to it, even agreeing that Xavier Woods' pitch for Royal Rumble elements could work out. He also spoke highly of WWE running PPV events on Saturdays, which jives with Fightful Select's previous reports about members of the roster being happy about the move. He's also excited about Summerslam in Nashville, considering it's a short drive for him since he lives there now. The area has become quite a hotbed for wrestlers, with McIntyre, Sheamus, Miro, Lana, Nick Aldis and Mickie James all having a residence there.
We also asked about his Royal Rumble win for the upcoming Inside The Royal Rumble 2 feature. He told us that he chatted with Edge a little bit before his return and admittedly was a little nervous about his own reaction considering that Edge was making a miraculous return. He wasn't sure until the moment actually happened that he'd win the Rumble because of the possibility of an audible being called in the ring. In the same vein, he didn't learn about his WrestleMania title defense against Big Show until what he called the "last minute."
We specifically asked Drew McIntyre several things that haven't been covered in other interviews as he does many, and asked about the Ricochet Claymore. McIntyre said that while it's his favorite one now, it wasn't immediately. He wasn't sure how well he actually connected with the move, but knew that Ricochet would make it as easy as possible for him. However, once the replay aired in the arena, he knew that everything ended up working out well.
