Drew McIntyre is always willing to lend a helping hand.
On the August 30, 2021 episode of WWE Raw, Damian Priest battled Drew McIntyre and Sheamus in a triple threat match. Some fans were stunned when Priest pinned McIntyre, who is a former WWE Champion and has been one of the more protected WWE superstars over the past couple of years.
Speaking on the Cheap Heat podcast, McIntyre said he was adamant that Priest look strong.
"You never know how things are going to pan out. You can be doing one thing in NXT and maybe it's working there, but you try something on Raw or SmackDown and it doesn't necessarily work out," McIntyre said when asked about giving advice to those coming up from NXT. "Anyone that wants any help or advice, I'm always there. I'm not going to impose my will on anybody, but if you have questions for Drew McIntyre, I'm always going to help out. It's cool to see people succeed. I remember when Priest came up initially, he had been working with Sheamus and making a name for himself and getting on a run. I don't think I had been pinned, especially by someone's finish, in a very long time. We had a triple threat on Raw and I was adamant about, 'I'm going to make sure he's going to come out looking as good as he can possibly look, because I believe in him and still do. Whenever I get the opportunity to help someone else out and pull them up, I'm always going to be there. Right now, Sheamus is with Ridge, he has the UK-style, the physical- style, he's a work in progress and we're helping him out. I see people down in NXT that are going to come up and make a big impact. If they need the help from Drew McIntyre, he's going to be right there."
McIntyre is set to face Happy Corbin at WWE WrestleMania 38. Meanwhile, Ridge Holland & Sheamus will team up to face Kofi Kingston & New Day. Both bouts are set for WrestleMania Saturday.
