The former Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett recently had an interview with WWE India and discussed about several topics including his thoughts Drew McIntyre becoming first WWE Champion from UK.
Last year, Drew McIntyre had a incredible run, he won the WWE Royal Rumble match and challenged Brock Lesnar for WWE Title. At WrestleMania 36, McIntyre defeated Brock Lesnar and won the WWE Championship and became the first Scottish wrestlers to win the WWE Title. He showed his dominance as WWE Champion by successfully carrying title for entire pandemic era.

While speaking, Wade Barrett stated that lot of people excited when Drew McIntyre became the first-ever British WWE Champion but for him it’s an absolute disgrace. Barrett also said that it should have been him but plenty of opportunities taken away from him.
“A lot of people got very excited when he became the first-ever British WWE Champion,” said Barrett. “For me, it is an absolute disgrace. It is an outrage. Everybody on the planet knows it should have been me quite clearly. I had plenty of opportunities that were taken away from me, but ultimately, it’s not me I feel bad for.” Wade Barrett added, “I’m not worried about me. I’m worried about the fans, the Great British fans of WWE.”
Wade Barrett also stated that fans have been dreamed about who will be the first British WWE Champion but they got cheated because they deserved someone better the Drew McIntyre.
“For years and years, they’ve wanted their first ever WWE Champion from the UK and for years they dreamed ‘Who will this be? Let’s just hope it’s somebody charismatic, somebody handsome, somebody heroic, and they’ve ended up with Drew bloody McIntyre,” Barrett continued. “If it had been Wade Barrett, they would have got everything they ever wanted. So it’s really them who lost out. It’s the fans who were cheated. So clearly there should be protests, there should be riots, there should be bedlam and it’s an absolute disgrace that Drew McIntyre will forever be the first ever WWE Champion from The Great Britain.” (H/T: Sportskeeda)
