Drew McIntyre continues to make the media rounds to promote the WWE SummerSlam 2023 premium live event this weekend.
During a recent appearance on the Stay Busy podcast, “The Scottish Warrior” spoke about how he wishes he had more time to build his story for his Intercontinental Championship showdown against GUNTHER at WWE SummerSlam 2023.
“I wish we had more time to build it a little bit,” he said. “The good thing is, I know people are just excited of the idea of Gunther vs. Drew McIntyre. That’s helpful that people want to see the match to begin with. You don’t have to build to make them want to see it. He needs an opponent that is a genuine threat. I need an opponent that is interesting and different and people want to see. I feel like there was a minute where McIntyre was kind of floating, which I never want to be doing, I always want to be moving up.”
When he squares off with “The Ring General” at “The Biggest Party of the Summer,” McIntyre will be facing a dominant wrestling star.
It won’t be the first time, as he has also shared the ring with Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, Sheamus and others who fit that bill.
“He is such a force right now, it doesn’t need much storytelling to tell King vs. Godzilla,” he said. “I’ve been able to come back, have the moment where I put him through the table after he was so dominant and stand before him and let him know, ‘You may have been dominant with everyone else, but you’ve gotten a little bit big for your britches. I’m Drew McIntyre, the same guy that has beaten Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, and Goldberg and a list of opponents a mile long. You’re about to get a wake up call and you might not get to break Honky Tonk Man’s record because Drew McIntyre is looking for his moment with a title in front of fans.”
