Drew McIntyre Reveals Real Reason for Loss to Jey Uso on RAW’s Netflix Debut
In a Daily Mail interview, Drew McIntyre discusses the circumstances of his loss to Jey Uso on Raw’s Netflix debut and addresses environmental factors in LA.
I wasn’t joking when I said I had a contact high. It’s an LA thing. In general, the place just reeks of a certain substance. And then during his entrance, very publicly, having a good old time with old Travis Scott and that’s not my thing, and that 100 percent is a thing, contact high. I’m not making excuses, I’m just stating facts.
McIntyre commented on the match outcome against Uso:
He got a quick one. I’m not somebody that’s going to spend the truth and make too many excuses. I’m annoyed about the constant smell of you know what in LA while I’m trying to wrestle, but I beat him 10 times in a row. That’s the first time he’s beaten me. It was a quick one. It was out of nowhere. It was a cheap one. Does it make him better than me? Absolutely not. Does it stop my goals going forward? Absolutely not. It just motivates me more.
McIntyre Reflects on 2024 Rivalry with CM Punk
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk engaged in a memorable rivalry throughout 2024, which began after Punk’s injury at the Royal Rumble. The feud progressed through social media and verbal exchanges before culminating in three matches.
The rivalry included matches at SummerSlam on August 3, Bash In Berlin on August 31, and a Hell In A Cell bout at Bad Blood on October 5. In his Daily Mail interview, McIntyre discussed his approach to the rivalry on social media, noting that he “went completely gangbusters for him.”
McIntyre praised Punk’s professionalism during their feud, stating that despite his aggressive social media tactics, Punk remained composed. “I went at him and went at him,” McIntyre said. “And I’ve done that with a couple of people, and they have got a boo-boo face. Not that I care, but he didn’t. He ate it like a man and then came back with what he had to say. So I’ll give him that.”
