At the Royal Rumble 2025 Kickoff, Drew McIntyre extended his dominance over Sami Zayn, following his eleventh consecutive victory against him on the January 27 edition of RAW.
All right, Sami [Zayn], let’s have a little talk, you and I. I am always honest; [I] always tell the truth. You’re not going to win the Royal Rumble. You’re a follower; you’re not a leader.
McIntyre’s direct confrontation with Zayn stems from their ongoing rivalry, which intensified after Zayn’s alliance with Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline at the 2024 Survivor Series Men’s WarGames Match.
