Drew McIntyre has addressed the criticism leveled by some fans regarding WWE’s decision to book a feud between him and Damian Priest leading into WrestleMania 41. The storyline stems from Priest’s eliminations of McIntyre in both the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber match.
While speaking in an interview with The Daily Star, McIntyre was asked about the potential WrestleMania matchup and the negative fan reactions. McIntyre wants the chance to tell the right story with Priest.
“I appreciated when the fans reaction was, oh my goodness, it’s Priest and Drew, there’s nothing there. I’m like bloody hell, give us a chance to tell the story. The thing with Priest has been going on since last year’s WrestleMania when he cashed in on me after Punk assaulted me.
“He doesn’t know how to succeed unless it is at my expense. Elimination Chamber I claymore Cena. Instead of going ‘I’ll let Drew pin Cena first’, he eliminates me. It’s the only way he knows how to succeed because he is a vulture. A parasite. A big emo vulture. Finally, he’s got my attention because they’ve got nothing else. I stomped him in his big stupid head last week and if he wants to keep coming back for more, if it goes all the way to Mania, it’s a year in the making story and he deserves the biggest stage of all to get his stupid looking arse kicked.”
WWE has yet to announce the match for WrestleMania 41 officially.
