Drew McIntyre continues to generate buzz with his comments about CM Punk and Cody Rhodes.
Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has had heated confrontations on WWE RAW with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes in recent weeks. Ahead of his match against Damian Priest on the January 22 episode of WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre took to social media with a message that targeted both men.
“We’re six days to the Rumble, and our champion’s potentially hurt,” Drew McIntyre said. “Seth, you gotta be careful when you call yourself a workhorse because the thing about workhorses is if you run too hard and you get an injured wheel, it’ll put you down, buddy. But that’s a what if, not a what is. Let’s talk about what is. Actually, let’s talk about last week, myself and Cody getting the chance to catch up. Former tag team champions of the world, The Dashing Ones. Google it if you don’t believe it’s a real thing. When we were younger, we really thought we could have done more within the system. Maybe we could have. But stepping outside of the system, getting our heads screwed on right, getting perspective helped us become the men we are today.
“As I mentioned, I set the blueprint, redefined what it meant to be an independent wrestler. Cody, he took it, put his spin on it, created a lot of jobs for a lot of our friends. Now, Matt Cardona has taken it in his own unique direction, which is awesome. But I still stand by everything else that I said. I think what we’re seeing is a very clever act developed outside the company instead of the real person. The wolf in politician’s clothing. The gratitude is real. The work ethic is real. Some of the other stuff, I don’t know. I guess prove me wrong. But I’d much rather the silver tongue than Punk’s poisonous one.”
Drew McIntyre Teases Coming After Money In The Bank Briefcase
Drew McIntyre then shifted his focus to Damian Priest. He vowed to beat the Judgment Day member, but he also teased his interest in taking the Money in the Bank briefcase from him.
“Now, Priest, you idiot, one, stop wearing Rhea’s clothes,” Drew McIntyre said. “Two, once again, why didn’t you wait until I beat Seth and I was champion and I was weakened to cash in? Why do you think you keep failing? Actually, on that note, maybe three, maybe I should take that briefcase from you and restore it’s credibility.
“I’m gonna beat you, but bias aside, I do see you as an important player in my vision for RAW, and I admire anyone that picks a fight with me. But you need to learn it’s now about all rising. It’s about falling in line. It’s about trusting someone who’s led multiple companies, including this one. Your next world champion. Take it easy. “
