Drew McIntyre Responds To CM Punk And Roman Reigns, Says They Are Aura Farming

It took three tries, but Drew McIntyre finally got his chance on the microphone on the February 6th episode of WWE SmackDown.

McIntyre addressed CM Punk and Roman Reigns, who took shots at Drew and SmackDown while speaking on WWE Raw. He said that he thought both men came off as insecure and that couldn’t stop talking about him.

McIntyre said everyone on the SmackDown roster should feel offended that they were considered by Reigns and Punk as being the B show, and that they should step up or be shown the door.

He said the Undisputed WWE Title was not secondary, as it was the main title built by the likes of The Rock, Steve Austin, Bruno Sammartino, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and more. He said he earned the title and carried the company through the pandemic.

He continued, saying that he understood why Roman picked Punk as his WrestleMania 42 opponent, saying Punk is fragile, while he is a warrior who would crush Roman, especially without his family behind him.

He closed by saying that while Punk and Roman are aura farming, he has the entire roster fighting for the opportunity to face him, the number one champion, the undisputed champion, and the real best in the world.

Drew McIntyre FINALLY gets to air his grievances!
