Drew McIntyre looks back at feud with Brock Lesnar

McIntyre defeated The Beast Incarnate in the main event of WrestleMania 36 to become the WWE Champion. He recently appeared on the Wafflin' podcast and opened up about wrestling Lesnar:

"No, but that’s the thing. You tell yourself that, but sometimes with certain guys, you think, 'Oh....,' like when I wrestled Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, he’s looks like you’ve taken a gorilla and shaved it. Also, 'Hey, this guy, if he chooses to, can murder basically everyone on the planet, except three people.' Like I’ve been in the ring with them, and I’ve thought this person could destroy me or finish me off if they wanted to," Drew McIntyre said. [H/T Fightful]

McIntyre had won the 2020 Men's Royal Rumble match to secure a title shot at WrestleMania that year. He kicked off a feud with then-WWE Champion Brock Lesnar as 'Mania loomed closer.

At WrestleMania 36, it didn't take long for McIntyre to put The Beast Incarnate down and win the top prize in WWE. McIntyre has proven himself to be a top act on multiple occasions since then.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
