Drew McIntyre recently spoke with TV Insider about a wide range of topics including recent praise from and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
A few days ago, Johnson spoke with TMZ Sports while in New York City where he gave high praise to the WWE star.
During the interview, McIntyre said the praise from The Great One was unexpected.
“It was unexpected. Over the last few years, I’ve tried to push myself inside and outside the ring. The Rock is somebody I look to for motivation in general. If you follow him on social media, and when you meet him, he is such a genuine person.
He works so hard, which is why he achieves everything he achieves. It’s a big inspiration to me to have that kind of backing from somebody I admire so much. That kind of validation means I’m on the right track.”
The SummerSlam pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, August 11, 2019 in Toronto, Ontario at the Scotiabank Arena. As of this writing, McIntyre still doesn’t have a match booked for this show.
