Drew McIntyre Makes Surprising Pick For Favorite Match Ever

Drew McIntyre got to achieve his dream.

His road to the top of WWE was less than straightforward, but when he finally got there, Drew McIntyre took the company by the scruff of the neck.

Although once dubbed the “Chosen One,” McIntyre had to wait until 2020 and his second run with WWE to finally claim World Championship gold. Like many European wrestlers before him, McIntyre is renowned for a physical style in the ring, and he loves nothing more than a good, old-fashioned fight.

So what better way to take WrestleMania by storm than getting beaten up by two friends?

Drew McIntyre Loved WrestleMania Battle

During an appearance on Pub Darts, McIntyre named his WrestleMania 39 clash against Gunther and Sheamus as his career favorite. At the event, McIntyre and Sheamus challenged Gunther for the Intercontinental Title in one of the most physical battles the event had seen in years, and although he ended up tasting defeat, the Scottish star loved the chaos.

“Yeah, it was incredible. The match was probably my favorite match ever. It was at WrestleMania. But the match itself, I was so proud of it, and the guys, I love them both.

But Sheamus and I came up together and known each other forever. And we always talked about having the match at WrestleMania. So we basically had a singles match when Gunther was hanging out at the outside. It took three of us to put that match together.

So when I felt myself afterwards, like Sheamus and I collapsed together because we beat each other up so bad and we just laid there and went, we did it brother, we had the match at Mania. It was f*cking cool and we felt it and it was very special.”

On the May 2 edition of SmackDown, it was announced that Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, and Damian Priest will challenge Jacob Fatu for the United States Championship at Backlash. Fatu won the gold at WrestleMania 41, seeing off Knight to continue his impressive run since joining the company.
