Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has been one of the most hard-working stars in the industry lately. From the Thunderdome Era to now, the 39-year-old has evolved a lot, adding some of the biggest wins and greatest matches to his name.
However, one loss that he would always regret was when Roman Reigns defeated him at Clash at the Castle in 2022. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the Scottish Warrior addressed the match and moments with Tyson Fury afterward.
McIntyre recalled singing a song after his loss, which he thought was after the show went off-air. However, he later realized the show was still on-air and called it the worst moment of his career.
"That thing with Tyson Fury. That was stupid. There's no excuse for that. That's the worst moment in my entire career. We did the bit, the song, and then I told him, 'Hey, you want to sing Sweet Caroline?' Because British fans [love it]. They're upset that I lost. They don't know American Pie. He was like, 'Nah, I'm good.' I'm not gonna fight you. You’re Tyson Fury. I figured we were off the air."
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
Then he explained he started singing 'Don't Look Back in Anger' to appease the WWE crowd:
"That's why I started doing the Oasis bit and singing Don’t Look Back in Anger. Just got the crowd going. And I was like, 'Oh, this sucks, but we're off the air.' Then I found out we were still on the air. It was a whole thing. But anyway, I digress, Oasis are back together. Gotta get some tickets for that. Yeah, that night, I was very upset," said McIntyre.

Drew McIntyre's WWE loss at Scotland 'stung' him
While Drew McIntyre couldn't pick a win on WWE's return to the United Kingdom with Clash at the Castle 2022, the scenes were similar when the company made it to his home country of Scotland.
McIntyre faced Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle 2024 but also ended up losing that match. Addressing the match in the interview with Chris Van Vliet, the Scottish Warrior stated that the loss really 'stung' him.
"That was a tough one. Really, really tough one. The same time, if I win, then I'm right. Sometimes it's okay to be right. Yeah, that one really stung," said McIntyre.
While McIntyre's appearances in the United Kingdom haven't gone his way till now, WWE might have something big planned for the Scotsman in the future.
