Remember me
Drew McIntyre has explained how cutting off WWE house shows from the current schedule has benefited talent. He also detailed the change in his training routine.
McIntyre has been absent from WWE television since his loss to Jacob Fatu in their Unsanctioned Match at WrestleMania 42. The two men pushed each other to the absolute limit and closed out their feud at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Thanks for the submission!
Speaking on Bobby Bones Presents: The BobbyCast, McIntyre explained how he has changed his training routine, considering he has to wrestle one match every couple of months.
“These days, I probably wrestle one match every couple of months. They finally eliminated most of the non-televised shows. One, the talent were just getting hurt all the time and going out quicker, and two, from a profit standpoint, it just didn’t make sense. It never made sense to me, profit-wise. So now, the money’s in the TV deals and all the other massive deals that the billion dollar man Nick Khan is constantly making so because I’m wrestling once every two months, every three months, I do feel like I’ve been in a car crash after the matches and I train for each match now, like, I assume a boxer would train for a fight, UFC fighter would train for a fight, I train for each pro wrestling match.” said McIntyre.Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre feuded for the majority of 2026. However, The Samoan Werewolf didn't hold himself back from breaking character and praising the former Undisputed WWE Champion.
Speaking to Daniel Cormier, Fatu said:
"I'm not going to sit here and sugarcoat anything. I do want to give a shout-out because I feel like he brought the dog out of me no matter what it was, you know? Drew McIntyre ain't no regular guy," Fatu said. "He's a beast, you know? So it might sound weird, but shout out to Drew, though, for bringing the dog out of me yesterday, man. […] I mean, man, we got to think about what he's been doing. I feel like this would have had never happened. It would have never had got to where it went if it wasn't for Drew McIntyre, you know?"It remains to be seen when McIntyre returns to WWE programming.
