Drew McIntyre says he asked The Rock for a “little favor”, and he’s working on it.
The Rock appeared at the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere, and he spoke with various members of the roster. He livestreamed his walk through the backstage area, and in one highlight, he spoke with Drew McIntyre. McIntyre then shared a clip of their interaction on social media.
Speaking with Alex McCarthy for Mail Sport, Drew McIntyre discussed his relationship with The Rock.
“He has always looked out for me since the very beginning of my career, he’s always had such positive words,” McIntyre said. “I just told a story about meeting his ex-wife, Dany, on a plane one time, and she told me herself and and Rock were big fans of mine and saw big things in the future, which was so cool to hear back then. Then fast forward so many years later, in 2017 I believe it was when TMZ had asked him who he thought was going to be the next big player. And it wasn’t like I was about to win the Rumble. I was still kind of random, a bad guy on the show, and he was able to pick me out and go, ‘Drew McIntyre. He’s the one to keep an eye on.'”
Drew McIntyre On Talking To The Rock
McIntyre went on to tease that he asked “The Final Boss” for a favor at the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere.
“He always had such positive public comments,” Drew McIntyre said. “When I re-signed, I sent the sword as a little gift. He has always been there for advice and to include me in his live stream after the match, I wasn’t exactly expecting it, but I feel very honored that he’s willing to shine a kind of light on me. And he swore first, then I saw an opportunity. It’s so hard not to swear being Scottish. So I got a little laugh, and I got to ask a little favor, and he’s working on that for me.”
McIntyre then noted that there was a “mentorship-style relationship there” between him and The Rock. He stated that The Rock had helped him many times.
