Drew McIntyre Opens Up About His Relationship With Vince McMahon

The last few years have been huge for Drew McIntyre as he won the Royal Rumble in 2020 and went on to defeat Brock Lesnar and win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36. Drew McIntyre has since gone on to become a two time WWE Champion, and he’s also one of the top stars in the company.

It seems that Drew McIntyre has earned the trust of Vince McMahon, and during a recent interview with Inside The Ropes he explained how his relationship with the Chairman of the Board has evolved over time.

“It definitely grew during that period. Yeah. The opportunity to have more one on one time with the boss, if you’re involved in more significant segments, and obviously opening RAW most weeks, having long matches, I would get the chance to be in his office a lot more so it was awesome in the sense of building a relationship which is important in any job, to have a relationship with your boss, especially WWE. And also learn.”

“Every time I was in there, it’s always something he would say, I’d be like, “Wow, of course!” I’m trying not to sell it but a light bulb just went off. It’s something obvious to him, but not obvious to myself. So I got to learn a lot during that period, but also start building that trust with him where he can trust me to go out on television and know my character. And if I feel something, go in in that direction. And also outside the ring, you know, interviews and representing the company. Building that trust during that time, that was very important to me to keep doing that. I feel like I’ve done it to a significant degree now that he knows he can put me in any situation, and trust me to represent the company and knock it out of the park.”
