Earlier this month WWE Monday Night Raw finally premiered on Netflix and The Rock made an appearance during the event when he cut a promo. Following his segment The Rock continued to wander around backstage and he crossed paths with a number of WWE stars while live streaming on social media.
At one point Rock ran into Drew McIntyre and The Scottish Warrior joked around with The Final Boss. Before The Rock left Drew McIntyre whispered something into his ear and The Rock told Drew that he would take care of it for him.
There’s currently no word on what Drew said to The Rock, but McIntyre recently told Daily Mail that The People’s Champion is working on a favor for him.
“He always had such positive public comments. When I re-signed, I sent the sword as a little gift. He has always been there for advice and to include me in his live stream after the match, I wasn’t exactly expecting it, but I feel very honored that he’s willing to shine a kind of light on me. And he swore first, then I saw an opportunity. It’s so hard not to swear being Scottish. So I got a little laugh, and I got to ask a little favour, and he’s working on that for me.”
Drew also praised The Rock for looking out for him throughout his career when he added, “He has always looked out for me since the very beginning of my career, he’s always had such positive words. I just told a story about meeting his ex-wife, Dany, on a plane one time, and she told me herself and and Rock were big fans of mine and saw big things in the future, which was so cool to hear back then.
Then fast forward so many years later, in 2017 I believe it was when TMZ had asked him who he thought was going to be the next big player. And it wasn’t like I was about to win the Rumble. I was still kind of random, a bad guy on the show, and he was able to pick me out and go, ‘Drew McIntyre. He’s the one to keep an eye on’.”
