It wasn't too long ago when former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre warned UFC welterweight Colby Covington. In an interview, Covington claimed that he was going to "make wrestling great again" which caught the attention of The Scotsman.

The former WWE Champion responded to Covington's statement by warning him and reminding The King of Chaos about his UFC 245 loss to Kamaru Usman.

McIntyre even added that he was going to break Covington's jaw the same way Usman did and added that the former interim UFC welterweight champion wouldn't get a shot at the WWE Championship, as it is only reserved for WWE Superstars.

"I'll smash his head in. I'll shut him up. I'll break his jaw like [Kamaru] Usman did, and then more people watch WWE. So, Colby, I'll fight you. No title shot, though. That's reserved for the WWE Superstars."

Covington has claimed that he will be transitioning to WWE by 2021. But the looks of things The King of Chaos is focused on his UFC career and is likely to challenge Usman next for the welterweight strap.
