"Hey @WWE, I’m taking May 18th off. See everyone in Sevilla"

Drew McIntyre wants to face Roman Reigns in Cardiff

Drew McIntyre is currently engaged in a feud against Roman Reigns. The pair will cross paths in a six-man tag team match at WrestleMania Backlash and the same match will also involve RK-Bro and The Usos.

The date for a singles match between McIntyre and Reigns is still unknown, but in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, the Scotsman said that he would like to face The Tribal Chief at Clash At The Castle. He said the following:

"I’m a two-time WWE champion, but I never won the title in front of our fans. My dream situation is fighting for the title against Roman at the UK show. There is going to be such intense anticipation for that event. And that would be a match, atmosphere-wise, that people would always remember."
