Drew McIntyre has been in the professional wrestling industry for a long time, but business has certainly picked up for Drew over the last year or so. McIntyre won the Royal Rumble last year, then went on to become WWE Champion when he defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36, and he’s been working in the main event scene ever since.
For months now Drew McIntyre has been feuding with Bobby Lashley, and they will face off once again at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view later this month.
During an appearance on Rasslin’ with Brandon F. Walker, Drew McIntyre was asked if Bobby Lashley could become his greatest rival, and he noted that he considers Randy Orton to be his greatest rival so far.
“Yeah, I really do. Thus far I think it’s Randy Orton. We spent four months with each other and that was my ultimate test of, ‘Can I step up to Randy Orton’s level on the microphone, in the ring as a storyteller, and can I hang with the best in the game?’ And that was such an important development and stage for me, keeping up with Randy and proving myself, and cementing myself at the top of the mountain.
But Lashley and I are so similar and are at similar levels, and are trying to pull each other up through our work. And every time we get in there together it is easy. We know we can lay it in to each other any way we want. We can make people question do we like each other. And at times, we don’t. You can tell just by watching our matches sometimes on Monday Night Raw. You know, you can put us in there with not as much time as a WrestleMania, but you know you’re going to get a hard-hitting and exciting match for the duration of Lashley vs. McIntyre together. And keeping that storyline progressing, and adding wrinkles, like Braun Strowman, in keeps things interesting.”
