WWE News Roundup: Legend to have a short run? Awkward botch from top star, Drew McIntyre on facing Brock Lesnar (February 13, 2022)

#3. Drew McIntyre recalls his full-circle WWE moment against Brock Lesnar

WrestleMania 36 was the event that solidified Drew McIntyre's spot on the top card, as he defeated Brock Lesnar to capture his first-ever WWE Championship.

Two years later, The Scottish Warrior has highlighted how their bout felt like a bar fight in the Performance Center. Here's what McIntyre recently said on The Jake Asman Show:

“It almost felt like I was in a bar fight with Brock Lesnar, an empty bar with a ring in it… a street fight, if you like... If you could’ve read my mind, I remember thinking, ‘Don’t try any funny business, Brock, or I’ll drop you where you stand.’ And I genuinely believed that, which is insane to think, but that’s how I felt in that moment.” [7:02-7:23]

The two-time WWE Champion had been on a long journey heading into the WrestleMania showdown against Lesnar. As a result, the world title victory instilled a sense of pride in McIntyre, who also said:

“I remember seeing his prone body afterwards once I beat him with the title in my hands, thinking, ‘My goodness, it happened.’ Through hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and sacrifice for a lot of others, friends and family, this moment finally happened.” [7:23-7:37] (H/T - Danny Hart of Sportskeeda Wrestling)

While Drew McIntyre is currently not in the top championship picture, it feels as though he will end up there once again at some point down the line.
