In a conversation with Rich Ucchino from Sportskeeda Wrestling earlier this week, WWE superstar Drew McIntyre opened up on his move to the blue brand during the 2021 WWE Draft. McIntyre also spoke about the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view and his role for Team Blue.
Drew McIntyre first stated that he felt like a traitor when he moved from RAW to SmackDown. The Scottish Warrior had been the face and champion for RAW for so long that it seemed to him like the two were synonymous with each other.
But McIntyre also expressed excitement about heading into Brooklyn this Sunday, where he will come face-to-face with some old adversaries.
"Initially, when I moved from RAW to SmackDown, I felt like a traitor," McIntyre said. "I've been the face of RAW, the champion of RAW. You'd think Drew McIntyre and RAW were synonymous with each other. But suddenly I was on SmackDown. But it wasn't my choice and realistically if I look at the Drew McIntyre story, it all began on SmackDown and things didn't go very well the first time."
"I'm looking to make things right this time and fix that part of my history," he added. "You know, I've got over it, I've got a few weeks to think about it. I've started getting my momentum going on SmackDown with my open challenge and now I have to face my demons, face RAW head on and kick the crap out of them."
