Drew McIntyre is among the most hardworking and exciting prospects in the WWE. The Scottish Giant worked around the clock last year to earn the love and respect of the WWE fans. However, with WrestleMania on the horizon, Drew McIntyre has been struggling to find a proper WrestleMania moment.
The supporters of the former World Heavyweight Champion and WWE enthusiasts have been asking for a proper match for McIntyre. The frustration behind the lack of opportunity for McIntyre comes with a reason. The current feud with Damien Priest has been going on forever.
Drew McIntyre’s brawl with Damien Priest reached a new high point
The brawl between Drew McIntyre and Damien Priest peaked at the last episode of SmackDown. After McIntyre defeated Randy Orton in a one-on-one match, Damien Priest ambushed McIntyre backstage and choke-slammed him on the windshield of a car.
The attack severely injured McIntyre, especially his eye. The Scottish giant posted a photo on his X handle, showing himself wearing an eye patch. An assault on McIntyre created shockwaves and carved out a new angle in the rivalry. However, Damien Priest’s attack has made the whole rivalry tedious and exhaustive.
The clash between the two superstars started almost a year ago, at WrestleMania XL. During that time, Damien Priest defeated a triumphant McIntyre, who had won the World Heavyweight Championship just moments before, after he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.
The face-off between these two became more frequent as they met again at last year’s Elimination Chamber and Survivor Series. The clashes added to the already hyped up contest between Drew McIntyre and Damien Priest. Following McIntyre’s recent attack, the WWE universe wonders what unknown element will fuel the brawl and a potential WrestleMania 41 clash.
This is not the first time that Drew McIntyre has faced an intense rival. Over the years, McIntyre has faced many such opponents with some intense storylines.
Drew McIntyre has clashed with elite superstars in the past
Drew McIntyre has clashed with some notable superstars in the WWE. The Scottish Giant reached the peak of his prowess when he eliminated Brock Lesnar during the 2020 Royal Rumble. This led to an epic faceoff between the two superstars at WrestleMania 36. McIntyre defeated Lesnar in an intense showdown to claim the Universal Champion title.
A superstar who emerged victorious in a one-on-one clash against Drew McIntyre was Bobby Lashley. Both superstars clashed at WrestleMania 37, where Lashley triumphed over McIntyre and claimed the title. McIntyre and Lashley clashed at Hell in a Cell once again, in which Bobby Lashley won once again.
One of the most memorable clashes McIntyre was a part of involved him in a triple threat match with Gunther and Sheamus for the Intercontinental title. In an intense match at WrestleMania 39, McIntyre ultimately failed to win the title, with Gunther retaining the prestigious belt and ultimately reigned as Champion for a historic 666 days.
