Drew McIntyre has issued a heated response to a WWE Superstar ahead of his highly anticipated WrestleMania 42 match in Las Vegas.

Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu have been at odds for months, cutting intense promos and brawling in the ring and the arena. The Samoan Werewolf even cost Drew his Undisputed WWE Title ahead of ‘Mania.

With the rivalry getting personal each week, WWE announced that the two will collide in an Unsanctioned Match on Night One of The Show of Shows.

Last week on Friday Night SmackDown, The Scottish Warrior brutally attacked Jacob Fatu following his win over Tama Tonga. He used Fatu’s real-life criminal past to humiliate and handcuff him.

On the latest edition of SmackDown, Jacob Fatu arrived at the arena in a police car to address his past as a convict. He cut a promo about leaving his past life of crime behind him, and said he would do the same to The Scottish Warrior once and for all at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

McIntyre watched the promo and responded to it on social media, saying:

I better start reacting so people know I actually react in real time. I don’t need a script. I don’t wanna be in the building reacting in real time. I want to be comfortable, lying down. I’ve traveled across the world, I’ve had a lot of appearances, I’ve been in the gym. And if I’m in the building, Jacob and I are gonna tear each other apart. And I did that last week. It’s his opportunity to speak. I wanna save that for WrestleMania.

Drew McIntyre continued by saying they would beat each other to de*th, as their match is an unsanctioned bout. He once again crossed the line and warned The Samoan Werewolf about his future, saying he’s gonna end up back in the jail cell.

You haven’t changed. You’ve stole everything from me, and there’s only one thing left to say. Let’s get on the same page. We’re gonna beat each other to de*th.

We’re in the first hour – there’s a lot of eyeballs on that hour. Godzilla, Kong, personal issues, two giant guys beating each other to death, no rules, unsanctioned. We don’t need a story, but we’ve got a story.

“I feel bad for the rest of the show trying to follow us. Most of all, I feel bad for your kids, because after I’m done with you and your career goes down the toilet, you’re gonna end up back in that police car. You’re gonna end up back in that jail cell. And you’re gonna have to wait in there a long time before you get out, and then you’ve gotta rely on one of your kids, your many, many kids, to make it to WWE. Because you’ve got so many, I’m sure one of them will. [H/T WrestleTalk]

It will be interesting to see if their feud comes to an end at The Show of Shows this year.
