During Tuesday night’s edition of “WWE Backstage”, Drew McIntyre commented on winning the WWE Championship, why he would have blown it during his first run in WWE, and more. He said,
“Vince McMahon is a sorcerer. He predicts the future, I believe he predicted the company going public way before it happened. Predicted the Network way before it happened. Predicted Drew McIntyre as World Champion way before it happened. But the way, you know, the journey I went on, if I won it back then —- I’m just going to be completely honest. It would have bombed. It would have sucked. I would’ve sucked. If it would have worked out like a few other guys who got the opportunity that were the same level as me, and it wasn’t a great reign. I think I needed to go on this journey, I think it prepared me and molded me into not just the wrestler I am today, but the man I am today. And there’s nothing that you can throw my way that I’m not ready for. Nineteen years of ups and downs have prepared me for any situation, and that includes what’s going on in the world right now. And I’m so proud to be champion when we’re going through difficult times, not as a company, as a world. And I want to keep everybody entertained and be the flag-bearer of RAW going forward.”
