Drew McIntyre is amazing is very Special and a great worker deserves this moment 🖤

[Razear]

Crazy to think he was just a jobber a few years back...life moves fast.

Honestly, I've Thought Of Drew As A Main Eventer Since He Went To TNA. That Whole Storyline Against MVP, Lashley, etc. Solidified His Talent, In My Eyes.

[jakegilpin]

I still remember that. I was like blown away that the rock saw something in drew even thou did nothing but Shane’s bodyguard

[igotonit]

I stopped watching after WWF left.. but it's nice to see that hard work pays off

No Surrender 🇬🇧 Drew’s a Glasgow Rangers man 🇬🇧

i remember when drew mcintyre came to wwe in 2009 he was a mid carder who feuded with john morrison, r-truth, matt hardy, etc... at first & keep in mind that his promos from 2009 he was predicting that he was going to be a future world champion & he did become world champion. then by 2010-2014 wwe made him look like a fool. when he won the 2020 rumble, i started to like him more & more because i feel like he's the guy that's going to carry the company on his shoulders.

Look that is nice a man from Scotland who had a dream to one day become a WWE Superstar that is impossible you see not a lot of Scottish Irish people who are from different places like Scotland Ireland who don’t have the luxury to do that and to see Drew who came from Scotland to WWE that is impressive not a lot of Scottish Wrestlers can say that they have come from their hometown to the WWE

[claytonlee]

Never surrender good words to live by!

[keshavkaranjit]

now this man is two time world champion .he beat brocklesnar, randyorton, seth rollin, bobby lashley, ajstyle, samoe joe, bigshow, dean ambrose, finn balor, adam cole.he is in the top of the mountain now.rock assumption toward drew mcintyre is true.

[mauriceyoung]

Next WM will be headlined by Heath Slater. Then 3 man bang will return and distory the shield. As predicted in WWE 2k

[sclassic]

Hope the best for him but I really believe he's a transitional champion just like Jinder Mahal! I think they wanna see how people will receive him as champion!

[dutchc]

WWE is staged so why is everyone so proud of him
