Drew McIntyre Fires Shots at Marvel: Why WWE Star Isn’t Holding Back

Drew McIntyre has once again proved why he’s one of the most captivating constraints in WWE, both in and out of the ring. At the recent Saturday Night’s Main Event, McIntyre clashed with longtime competitor Sami Zayn in a brutal match that had the fans over the edge of their seats. With his evident mix of beast strength and speck precision, McIntyre delivered a striking Claymore Kick that emulated through the arena, marking the win in a dominant rage.
Not the one to remain quiet, McIntyre took straight to X (formerly Twitter) to deliver a sharp critique aimed at Marvel’s latest release, Kraven the Hunter. Posting “Unlike Kraven the Hunter I won’t absolutely suck.”

McIntyre efficiently stirred the pot, taking a jab at the movie’s wishy-washy reception and distressing box office numbers. The tweet was classic McIntyre, sharp, unfiltered, and dripping with confidence. McIntyre also made headlines for his candid and emotional interview with Busted Open Radio whichthat ended with the wrestler making an abrupt exit in the middle of the interview. During the interview, McIntyre spoke about his absence from WWE’s Bad Blood event, stating it to a close family member’s demise and his need to retrieve from his injuries.

While McIntyre is creating a buzz ahead of the Netflix kickoff event, we might not be able to see one of the leading names of the wrestling world in modern times, Cody Rhodes. While suffering from an injury in the last match to defend his title at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Rhodes was attacked by Owens post-match, leading to a cervical spine injury. It was said on WWE Raw that Rhodes was expected to make an appearance on the Netflix debut; however, this unfortunate event led to his replacement by the World Heavyweight Champion, GUNTHER.

While expressing deep frustration with the wrestling industry and highlighting his personal sacrifices in his wrestling career of almost two decades, the wrestler stated,
“I’ve missed birthdays, weddings, some funerals I should have been at. My mum passed; I went home for a couple of weeks and went straight back to work. I never truly dealt with it. Going home this time, spending real time with my family, and I realised I might have made a mistake. I’ve been giving and giving and giving to this industry, and it has taken and taken and taken from my real family.”

“I’m trying to keep it together and respect everyone who is sitting with me right now. But as much as we are on the road, we call each other family; that’s a matter of convenience. I was with my real family and when I was gone for that 3 months, I can count on one finger how many people checked in, ‘How are you doing, Drew?’ It really opened my eyes.”
