With WrestleMania 41 closing in and Drew McIntyre preparing for a high-stakes battle against Damian Priest, the Scottish Warrior took some time to reflect on his past opponentsand he didnt hold back when it came to Brock Lesnar.
In a new interview with Wafflin, McIntyre opened up about what its like to wrestle physically dominant athletes in WWE, and Lesnar topped the list. Recalling their showdown leading up to WrestleMania 36, McIntyre admitted that no matter how prepared you are, facing Lesnar is a whole different level of real.
McIntyre said that while hes never truly feared a match, hes had a few moments of realizing just how strong his opponents are. One came while working with Mark Henry.
He also pointed to The Big Show as another powerhouse who could take me out at any moment. But Lesnar, he said, is in a different category altogether.
Now, McIntyre is walking into WrestleMania 41 to face Damian Priest, but its clear the lessons he learned from past opponents are still in the back of his mind. Whether Priest can channel that same dangerous energy remains to be seen.
Do you think Drew McIntyres experience against powerhouses like Lesnar and Henry gives him the edge at WrestleMania 41? Or will Damian Priest be the next one to humble the Scottish Warrior? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
