As WWE Champion Drew McIntyre recalls his WrestleMania victory, United States Champion Andrade has something to say about where they stand. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Once upon a time, Drew McIntyre came back after years in the wilderness and fought his way to becoming NXT Champion … and then, Andrade came along and took the title. The WWE Champion hasn’t forgotten any of that, so when Andrade and Zelina Vega reared their heads on Raw looking for a fight, they didn’t have to push too hard to get a “yes.”
Granted, it’s unclear whether McIntyre thinks of Andrade as a “deserving” opponent, but given their shared past, it’s not hard to see why McIntyre agreed to a Champion vs. Champion Match. If his goal is to rewrite history, this is as good a chance as he’s ever going to get to pay back the man who hampered his rise. And if Andrade is looking to repeat history, this is as good a chance as he’ll get to do that, too.
