Drew McIntyre was recently interviewed by Sportskeeda. During the interview, he spoke about his impromptu match against The Big Show after Wrestlemania 36. This match ended up airing on RAW the next night.
Drew ended up revealing what The Big Show told him backstage after their match. It turns out that he had some major praise for the new WWE Champion.
Drew says Big Show told him that he has a chance to become one of the greatest WWE Champions of all-time:
“I think he has come out publicly and kind of spoke about the things that he told me. You know, he is somebody that has watched me grow up since I came to America when I was barely turning 22. He is very proud of what I have achieved during my first run. He watched me from outside the company and is very proud to where I got to today as a performer and as a man. “
“Like, he said himself, I wanted to test you out there (in the ring). So there was a couple of times out there, you know he did genuinely tried to test me. Like, he could see with his eyes, he knew I was ready for the opportunity to be WWE Champion, but when he felt it, he actually said the words you have the potential to become one of the greatest champions of all time, which meant the world to me, because he is been in (the ring) with the greatest of all time.”
