En entrevue hier après sa victoire lors du combat final du Royal Rumble, Drew McIntyre a exprimé sa joie d’avoir ainsi obtenu un combat de championnat pour Wrestlemania 36, avec beaucoup d’émotion dans une vidéo pour WWE.com.
McIntyre affirme avoir de la difficulté à exprimer en mots ce qu’il ressent, faisant valoir qu’il attend un tel moment depuis 18 ans.
“I can’t find the words, there’s literally no words. The past 18 years, the past 12 years in America, every up, every down, every single second was worth it after that moment when I threw Roman out and I heard 40,000 people react the way they reacted, and I’m going to WrestleMania.”
McIntyre a pensé en premier à sa conjointe, la remerciant de sa patience, en plus d’évoquer le fait que les lutteurs donnent beaucoup aux fans.
“The first person that came to mind was my wife. You don’t really think about it when you’re on the road—the fans don’t—but we’re away from our family all the time. You know, they endure as much as we endure on the road, and we give so much of ourselves to the fans, and we give it willingly, this is our dream. You know, and they’re the ones holding the fort at home. So, this one’s for her, and I’m going to WrestleMania.”
McIntyre n’a pas dévoilé s’il affrontera The Fiend, pour le titre Universel ou Brock Lesnar, le champion mondial. Mais il laisse présager que Lesnar – même s’il terrifie tout le monde dans le ring – serait un choix intéressant.
“If I won the Rumble, it’s the same guy I’ve had in mind for years. I’d fight Brock Lesnar in a second,” McIntyre declared. “A lot of people on the roster genuinely wouldn’t want to get in the ring with him. They are terrified of the idea. I want to get in the ring with him. I know we could put on a heck of a spectacle and a fight.”
Par ailleurs, sur les médias sociaux (notamment Facebook), il a mis en ligne cette photo en remerciant ses proches, ainsi que les fans, pour leur support.
“The outpour of support since last night has been overwhelming. Fans, peers, family, friends, thank you!!! I promise to get back to everyone when I can….if this is a dream, do me a favor and don’t wake me up. #ImGoingToWrestleMania”
On peut présumer que le “face turn” de McIntyre est confirmé.
