Drew McIntyre is gearing up for his highly anticipated match against Sami Zayn at WWE Royal Rumble, where they will compete for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Zayn earned his shot at the title after defeating Randy Orton, Trick Williams, and Damian Priest in a thrilling fatal four-way match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. This Saturday, the two will face off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Before the event, Zayn took to social media to celebrate his victory, sharing a photo with the caption, “We’re almost there.” McIntyre responded by reposting Zayn’s tweet with a nod to Hulk Hogan’s nWo theme, suggesting he is confident heading into the title defense, humorously indicating that Zayn stands little chance of winning.
Despite McIntyre’s confidence, Zayn comes into the match with an impressive track record, remaining undefeated in Saudi Arabia. Fans will be eager to see if Zayn can maintain this streak and claim his first world championship title.
In unrelated news, during a recent interview with TMZ Inside The Ring, Drew McIntyre reflected on his intense rivalry with Sheamus. He expressed that there are few wrestlers who hit as hard as the Celtic Warrior, noting, “I’ve never hit anybody or been hit as hard by anybody in my entire life as Sheamus.” Their camaraderie extends beyond the ring, with McIntyre jokingly referring to Sheamus as an “elderly Big Brother,” underscoring the unique friendship developed through their shared experiences in wrestling.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble, where both McIntyre and Zayn have a lot at stake, making it a must-watch event.
