The Scottish Psychopath finally had his say on the February 6 episode of WWE SmackDown, unleashing a scathing verbal assault on both CM Punk and Roman Reigns. After being the target of two brutal attacks earlier in the evening, McIntyre took to the mic to express his disgust and frustration with the actions of the two top stars.
A Message for the Self-Proclaimed “Best in the World”
Drew McIntyre took aim directly at CM Punk, who had been instrumental in orchestrating both of the attacks on the Scottish star. In a promo that was equal parts fiery and intense, McIntyre accused Punk of being nothing more than a self-serving opportunist who is only concerned with advancing his own career.
“CM Punk thinks he’s the ‘best in the world,'” McIntyre declared to a visibly agitated Roman Reigns. “But let me tell you something, Punk – the only thing you’re good at is getting in the way and making it impossible for the likes of me to succeed. You’re a roadblock, Punk. A relic of a bygone era who refuses to adapt and evolve with the times.”
A Warning for the Big Dog
McIntyre then turned his attention to Roman Reigns, who had been instrumental in delivering the second of the night’s two attacks on the Scottish star. McIntyre accused Reigns of being a puppet who is controlled by the likes of Paul Heyman and the McMahon family, and warned him that he will be held accountable for his actions.
“You might have the numbers, Roman,” McIntyre sneered. “You might have the power, and you might have the backing of the WWE machine. But let me tell you something – I’m not afraid of you. I’m not intimidated by you. And I’m not going to back down from you. You can bring your whole crew to the fight, but in the end, it’s just going to be you and me, Roman. And when that happens, I’m going to make sure that you’re the one who’s left lying in the dust.”
