The main event of AEW Revolution saw Jon Moxley take on Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship in an Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match. The ending drew heavy criticism and ridicule from fans and Superstars alike for being very underwhelming. It seems even Drew McIntyre took a shot at the ending on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. McIntyre also used a banned move on RAW.
During an interview with Alfred Konuwa of Forbes, McIntyre said that he did not intentionally make fun of AEW Revolution’s ending, planned by Omega.
“Everyone seems to think ‘writers are gonna put all this together,’ they don’t. Drew McIntyre’s out there, and I’ve got no idea what I’m gonna say and I kind of say how I feel,” McIntyre said.
“I saw [MVP] saying the ‘guarantee’ thing, and I thought to myself ‘everyone always says guarantee, and when you say guarantee you really gotta back up that, you’ve gotta deliver on your guarantees. What can I say out there that I can guarantee? Sheamus and I are literally going to beat the absolute hell out of each other, and it’s gonna hurt. I might as well tell the truth.’”
“I went out there, I said that, and I [heard] ‘sparks fly’ come out my mouth. I didn’t think twice about it, I just rolled right through it, I said my whole interview and watched the match ringside—which was an awesome match—and I came back, and somebody came up to me and said ‘I saw what you did there.’ ‘What did I do?’ And then they played it out to me and I went ‘oh, yeah, that could be taken that way,’” said McIntyre.
“Maybe subconsciously I made a joke…I don’t like that shot back-and-forth stuff, I don’t see the point, it’s not good for business.”
Drew McIntyre is set to challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 37 next month.
