Drew McIntyre Believes WWE Hell In A Cell Match Was Among The Best Ever
Drew McIntyre is very proud of the WWE Hell in a Cell match he had with CM Punk.
It was a fantastic 2024 for Drew McIntyre in WWE. The Scottish Warrior won the World Title at WrestleMania 40, but he only held the title for about five minutes because of CM Punk, which led to Damian Priest cashing in Money in the Bank on McIntyre to leave with the gold.
The rivalry between McIntyre and Punk escalated to the point that it had to be settled inside the Hell in a Cell structure at Bad Blood in October. Punk won the bloodbath of a match that was praised heavily as the WWE Match of the Year and one of the best matches in the careers of both former WWE Champions.
In an interview with UPROXX, Drew McIntyre sounded like somebody very proud of the match he had inside Hell in a Cell.
“Some people believe it was the best cell ever. I’ve got my favorites, especially the first one, and the ‘Taker-Mankind one, for different reasons. People remember that for, fully defying death, repeatedly, within a matter of 15 minutes. And, the Triple H-Undertaker one, from a storytelling perspective, that’s what I like about it.
I guess the Punk and I one, it truly was justified. It truly was blood feud. It really was personal. It felt real because it was real all the way through. And we restored what Hell in a Cell was all about. I didn’t technically lose. I succumbed to blood loss and breaking my back on the steps. But also being gone for those few months, I have a very different outlook coming back now.”
Drew McIntyre In Action On WWE Raw Debut On Netflix
One of the big matches that will take place on Raw’s Netflix debut in Los Angeles will see Drew McIntyre facing off against Jey Uso in a grudge match. Since making his return to television in December, McIntyre has made it clear he is targeting allies of Roman Reigns, which led to McIntyre beating Sami Zayn and doing attacks on Jimmy and Jey Uso.
In his interview with UPROXX, McIntyre explained how WWE is about human emotion.
“You watch our show now. It’s not just so black and white. It’s not this guy’s a good guy, this guy’s a bad guy. It’s very much real life, human emotion. Everything I do comes from a real place. I believe, at least most elements of everything I do, that’s why it’s easy to believe when you’re watching the show.
People can understand, sometimes you don’t just agree and disagree with people. Sometimes you have a very good point, they have a very good point. And it’s going to be an interesting journey to watch how it all plays out.”
