WWE claims former world champion is a menace
WWE has produced some of the most threatening heels in pro wrestling history. Now, they have placed another target on the back of a top star by labeling him a menace.
Drew McIntyre is billed as The Scottish Psychopath for a reason. The veteran grappler was a beloved babyface, but as we're seeing on the Road to WrestleMania 40, McIntyre turned heel, and many consider this one of the best runs in the company.
Last week's RAW was headlined by McIntyre defeating Jey Uso in just under 17 minutes. The company recently took to Instagram and re-posted footage of The Scottish Warrior mocking Main Event Jey with a "Yeet!" to launch him over the commentary table. A brief caption perfectly describes the 38-year-old.
"@dmcintyrewwe is a menace [face with steam from nose emoji]," the company wrote.
The official USA Network social media team often chimes in on various RAW, SmackDown, and NXT discussions. The longtime World Wrestling Entertainment TV partner commented on the heel McIntyre.
"Drew’s been pushing the wrong buttons for months… And we’re kind of liking it," the network wrote.
McIntyre handed Uso his first defeat when he came to RAW to begin his singles run last fall. The Scotsman then defeated the former Bloodline member in the rematch two months later and again on December 11.
If you include their November 2020 SmackDown match, Drew has defeated Jey in all five of their televised singles matches.
