Drew McIntyre finally won the WWE Championship after years of hard work and patience at WrestleMania 36 but the former NXT Champion had to do it in front of no audience and since then, all WWE shows have been empty arena shows.
The former NXT star recently had an interview with Jonathan Snowden of WrestleJoy.com where he talked about a number of things and he also revealed how he will feel when the audience finally returns to WWE shows.
McIntyre said that he can’t wait for the moment when the fans are allowed back in the arena and he would want to be the first one to walk out when it happens:
“I can’t wait for that moment until everybody can get back together. I want to be the first one that walks out there. I don’t want any dark matches. I don’t want any match prior. I want to walk down there as champion and see how the crowd responds.”
The WWE Champion then admitted that he will have butterflies of excitement when it happens but he does hope that he gets the first opportunity to enter the arena with a crowd:
“I will have some butterflies. They’re butterflies of excitement. There’ll be some nerves. But I really do hope that we don’t have that dark match and I do get the opportunity to walk out there with the title and raise it up there and say, ‘I didn’t quite get my WrestleMania moment but this is our fricking wrestling moment.’”
