Drew McIntyre: I Always Wanna Give The Fans What They Want
Drew McIntyre says he always tries to give the WWE fans what they want.
Drew McIntyre comments on qualifying for the Elimination Chamber.
On the February 9th edition of Friday Night SmackDown, qualifiers began for the men’s Elimination Chamber scheduled for next weekend’s Premium Live Event in Perth, Australia. The winner of said chamber will go on to face Seth Rollins at WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Championship.
On SmackDown, Drew McIntyre would defeat AJ Styles to become the first man to qualify for the Chamber match. After his match in a digital exclusive, Byron Saxton asked Drew what it meant to win his qualifier.
“Everything. This is my way to finally get my moment, to finally get my moment with live fans, to finally get the title for me, when my first two reigns were for everybody else, when I was holding down the fort when the world shut down. I’ve been doing the right thing, and I know if you keep doing the right thing, you keep working hard. The cream always rises to the top. We got the Cody Rhodes situation I talked about. I injured Punk in the Rumble, sacrificed myself so he could finish the story. He messed around for a bit. I had to mess him up a bit till he made the right decision. Seth tried to be selfish, force Cody to go with him. That’s not what the fans wanted. I always wanna give the fans what they want and if I have to take the hard way to the main event of WrestleMania, that’s what I’m gonna do. If I have to defeat superstars as good as AJ Styles, that’s what I’m gonna do. If I have to beat everybody in the Elimination Chamber again, which I’ve done before, I know how to do, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna finally get that moment, because I don’t deserve it, I’ve earned it, and you know I have.”
McIntyre would later be joined in the Chamber by Randy Orton, who defeated Sami Zayn to qualify for the Chamber match.
Prior to Friday’s SmackDown, Drew stated that Monday Night RAW needs a change. You can read more about that here.
