Drew McIntyre knows exactly whos been in his corner for a long time, and The Rock is at the top of that list. In a new interview with Inside The Ropes, McIntyre reflected on his long-standing relationship with The Great One, revealing that The Rock has supported him since his early days in WWE.
Yeah, and thats never lost on me. Hes always been a supporter of mine from my first run, McIntyre shared. He recalled an early interaction with Dany Garcia, The Rocks longtime business partner and ex-wife, who spoke highly of him when he was just 22 or 23 years old. Shed said such positive words on a plane about how highly they thought of me, which was very cool.
The Rocks support didnt stop there. Even when McIntyre wasnt in WWEs main event scene, The Rock saw something in him. With TMZ positive comments in 2017 when I really wasnt doing anything to suggest that I was the next guy, he could see it all the way through to these days where hes still there for advice.
When McIntyre re-signed with WWE in April 2024, The Rock made it clear how much he valued him, gifting him a sword and publicly congratulating him on the new deal. With McIntyre once again climbing the ranks, having The Rock in his corner is a pretty big endorsement.
