WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has tested positive for COVID-19, but he didn’t let that stop him from responding to Goldberg’s challenge for WWE Royal Rumble.
This week on WWE RAW, McIntyre addressed Goldberg in a video message. He said Goldberg deprived him of the chance to thank the legends for their contributions.
The champion said he wants to like and respect Goldberg, but the icon let him down last week. “You put words into my mouth that I didn’t even say,” said McIntyre.

He pointed out how Goldberg has never won the WWE Championship. McIntyre stated that he didn’t want to accept the challenge out of respect. But he offered to teach Goldberg a lesson at WWE Royal Rumble.
