The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre recently appeared as special guest on BBC Headliners podcast and discussed about several topics. While speaking, one of the fan asked about whether he interested to see WWE pay-per-view in UK.
Drew McIntyre said that it was always top on his list, once the pandemic is over and everything gets normal to travel then it will be the top thing to do. He also stated that he wanted to see WWE PPV at UK since winning his first WWE Title at WrestleMania 36.
“It’s easily the top of my list of things to get done, as soon as this pandemic’s over, as soon as there’s some semblance of normal. When we’re traveling again, when we’re putting on shows across the world. It’s literally the top of my things to do. As soon as I won that title… last year, when I won the title at WrestleMania 36 against Brock Lesnar. After the match I was doing media at one in the morning and I was saying, literally, at the top of my list, I’ve got the title, gotta get a bit of stroke around here. I’m gonna get a significant pay-per-view here in the UK.”
“We’ve not had one since SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley Stadium, it had over 80,000 fans, it was such a gigantic event. I know there’s a lot of reasons, I don’t understand the logistics of it all, but with the WWE Network and WWE and Peacock in America, we now have the capabilities to put on events at any time. We have done across the globe. Australia, we put on a Super-Show of its own. The UK deserves a Super-Show,” McIntyre continued. (H/T: SK Wrestling)
During the interview, McIntyre was also asked whether there was any legitimacy to the rumored scrap between himself and Tyson Fury. Then, McIntyre said that if it makes sense from business point of view then, Tyson Fury is very much on-board.
“It’s very serious. It makes sense. That’s the thing, I can’t just book matches myself… I can only throw things out to the universe and see what goes down. But if it makes sense from a business perspective, and I personally think it does, Tyson Fury is very much on-board, I can tell by the banter… If he throws that right hand, I might go down. But I don’t care! As long as the event happens, I’ll say whatever it takes to get it going, get people talking.” Said McIntyre.
