Drew McIntyre opens up about controversial WWE RAW promo

Drew McIntyre has opened up about the controversial promo that took place this past Monday night on WWE RAW. McIntyre will be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL.

The Scottish Warrior interrupted CM Punk this past Monday night on the red brand during the veteran's return. Punk suffered a torn triceps during the Men's Royal Rumble match in January and will not be in action at this year's WrestleMania. However, the 45-year-old will be serving as the guest commentator for the World Heavyweight Championship match as announced this past Monday on WWE RAW. In an interview with Torg & Elliott, McIntyre noted that the promo was mostly unscripted. He added that there was an outline, but it was mainly just three talented people doing their jobs.

"Basically, the whole thing, if it felt uncomfortable, it's because there was an outline and it's three guys going out there who may not like each other and may have personal feelings, but also are good at their job and we go out there and tear into each other verbally without it on a piece of paper because it's stupid writing everything down to deliver it to a live audience," said McIntyre.
