Tonight at WWE Clash of Champions, Drew McIntyre successfully defended his WWE title against Randy Orton in an Ambulance match. The match was certainly an interesting one, as several legends that Orton had destroyed over the past few months made cameos during the match and exacted revenge on The Viper. In the end, McIntyre stood tall and left the Thunderdome still the WWE Champion.

Now, WWE has posted an exclusive backstage clip featuring the champ himself. Drew McIntyre was asked about his reaction to retaining the WWE title, to which he responded by showing off his battle scars. As can be seen in the clip below, McIntyre's back took the brunt of Orton's punishment.
Drew McIntyre has now been WWE Champion for almost six months
Drew McIntyre won the WWE title from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36. There aren't many who have dominated The Beast as McIntyre did on that night. Over the next several months, Drew McIntyre defended his title successfully against some of the biggest names in WWE, including Seth Rollins and Randy Orton.
Tonight, McIntyre put Orton down again, and it would be interesting to see what's next for him and who is going to step up to take on The Scottish Psychopath for a shot at the top prize.

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.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
