Drew McIntyre Comments On Incident That Led To Jeff Hardy’s Release

A few weeks ago Jeff Hardy teamed up with Drew McIntyre and Xavier Woods to take on Roman Reigns and The Usos at a WWE live event in Edinburg, TX and after Hardy tagged out he left through the crowd before the match was over.

Following the incident at the live event Jeff Hardy was later released from WWE, and during an interview with DAZN Drew McIntyre noted that he just wants what’s best for Jeff.

“For one, as usual, the internet can take something and blow out of proportion. But all I’ll say on the matter is I just want what’s best for Jeff and for him to be healthy. As long as he’s good, as long as he’s healthy, as long as he’s happy with his family, then Drew McIntyre is happy.”

Back in October the former WWE Champion was officially drafted to the Friday Night SmackDown brand, and while talking about the transition he said that so far everything is going exactly as he hoped it would.

“So far, so good in my mind. It was exactly how I was hoping, not being in a rush to jump to the finish line. My concern was getting to that title match with Roman too quickly. We talked last time that everything’s come full circle, back to where it all began in my early 20s. I have a chance to kind of redo what went wrong in the first part of my career and 52 weeks a year, no reruns, no offseason, every single week. I just want to have great matches, be in great storylines, reestablish Drew McIntyre, build up momentum, and make people want that title match, whether it’s Roman or Brock (Lesnar) after this Saturday. And when the time is right, I wouldn’t have to say I won this match. The crowd will be saying we want him to have this match like 2020 leading into the (Royal) Rumble. So as long as it’s done the path we’re on, I think it’s going to happen organically down the line. We’ll also be establishing McIntyre and momentum.”

Drew McIntyre will be in action on Saturday when he takes on Madcap Moss at the Day 1 pay-per-view. Stay tuned for updates.
