Drew McIntyre is thankful The Rock has always been in his corner.
McIntyre recently spoke with Kenny McIntosh for Inside The Ropes Magazine. There, he showed his gratitude for The Rock and appreciated him always being there for him.
“Yeah, and that’s never lost on me. He’s always been a supporter of mine from my first run. I remember seeing his ex, Mrs Dany Garcia, that he works with at such a high level, and she’d said such positive words when I was about 22-23 years old on a plane about how highly they thought of me, which was very cool. The Rock’s always had an eye out for me ever since back then, with TMZ positive comments in 2017 when I really wasn’t doing anything to suggest that I was the next guy. He could see it all the way through to these days where he’s still there for advice.”
The Rock gave McIntyre a gift, a Scottish claymore sword, when he signed a new WWE contract last year. More recently, the two shared some time backstage at the RAW on Netflix premiere, and McIntyre asked The Rock for a “little favor”.
