WWE Champion Drew McIntyre recently spoke about his time at the top of the card and his growing relationship with Vince McMahon during an interview with TV Insider.
“Nobody has been in the position I’m currently in as WWE champion. I have made sure my work ethic isn’t just in the ring, but that it’s very much outside the ring. I’m doing everything I can to promote the company and learn the inner-workings of the company and how it operates and how gigantic it truly is,” said McIntyre. “I have been putting in the hours and time and broadening my horizons so that when we do get back on the road, it’s going to be on another level.”
“[Vince McMahon and I] always had a good relationship. Being WWE champion says a whole lot about the trust he has in me. That meant the world to me. I guess from my standpoint, that told me Vince is truly invested in me now. He trusts me. I’ve earned that respect, put the time into that respect. I think that is what our relationship is based on, respect. It’s based on honesty. If he doesn’t like something, he is not shy to say so. I’m very much the same.’
In today’s Ask WNC we have more information on the relationship between McIntyre and McMahon and whether or not Vince attributes the low viewership to his champion.
McIntyre is set to defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton on Sunday, August 23, 2020.
