Drew McIntyre wanted to lift the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in front of fans in Saudi Arabia
Drew McIntyre has been the WWE Champion on two separate occasions. Unfortunately, both his reigns came during the pandemic. He held the titles when there were no fans inside the arena. In an exclusive WWE interview, McIntyre talked about his title match at the Saudi PLE.
The former Intercontinental Champion pointed out that he had beaten Seth " Freaking" Rollins in the past, and he would do that again to win the gold in front of a packed Saudi crowd.
"I'm a two-time WWE Champion yet the two times I had the title there were no fans there. And I've been looking for that moment where I finally raise the championship in front of live fans. I had the opportunity last year with Roman Reigns. Unfortunately The Bloodline got involved. This time it seems like it's one-on-one, myself and Seth Rollins. I've beaten him in the past and I can't think of anywhere better to raise the title in front of live fans than right here in Saudi Arabia," he said.
Unfortunately, the Scottish warrior could not match his words as the former Shield member continued his title reign at McIntyre's expense.
