Drew McIntyre Unhappy With WWE WrestleMania Position

Drew McIntyre is not happy that he won’t be in a title match at WrestleMania 41 but has a message for WWE fans not thrilled with his Damian Priest feud.

Only once since Drew McIntyre won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36 has the Scottish star not competed for championship gold on the grandest stage of them all. However, that looks like it’s going to be the case at WrestleMania 41.

At WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre captured the World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins but his joy was short-lived. CM Punk pounced on McIntyre allowing Damian Priest to cash in his Money In The Bank contract to win the title.

After a year apart, Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest now look to be on a collision course for WrestleMania 41, something some WWE fans aren’t thrilled about. But McIntyre wants them to give the story a chance.

Drew McIntyre Has Had An Issue With Damian Priest For A Year

Speaking to The Daily Star, Drew McIntyre admitted he wasn’t happy about not being in a title match at WrestleMania 41 but thinks he and Priest have an interesting story to tell if people just give them that chance:

We’ve still got six weeks until Mania and anything can change in that time. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t p****d off at not being in one of the title matches after the 2024 I had, but it’s just because I’m so highly competitive and sometimes, you know, there’s only a few spots.

I appreciated when the fans’ reaction was, oh my goodness, it’s Priest and Drew, there’s nothing there. I’m like bloody hell, give us a chance to tell the story. The thing with Priest has been going on since last year’s WrestleMania when he cashed in on me after I was assaulted by Punk.

He doesn’t know how to succeed unless it is at my expense. Elimination Chamber, I Claymore Cena. Instead of going ‘I’ll let Drew pin Cena first’, he eliminates me. It’s the only way he knows how to succeed because he is a vulture. A parasite. A big emo vulture. Finally, he’s got my attention because they’ve got nothing else. I stomped him in his big stupid head last week and if he wants to keep coming back for more, if it goes all the way to Mania, it’s a year in the making story and he deserves the biggest stage of all to get his stupid-looking arse kicked.

A match between McIntyre and Priest has not yet been made official for WrestleMania 41 but it is expected to be on the card.
