Drew McIntyre is a walking redemption story. He is the perfect embodiment of what a wrestler should represent, a true workhorse. An inspirational journey from the bottom to the top, the man who carried the pandemic era behind his back. None deserves it more than Drew himself. Can't wait to see him get his hands on the Universal title ❤️⚔️

Shame he was a nobody on the big stage

Ariel is such a good interviewer, this was actually really deep and inspiring. I'm happy for Drew.

[@mrmeowpuss]

So much respect for this guy and as someone who also lost their Mom its hard not to tear up when he mentions his

[@realkgtwan]

I stopped watching wwe in 2015 , came back during the pandemic crazy to see how far Drew has came from then to now

[@anamelanieamaya4453]

Drew Mcintyre is a fantastic and humble man, I admire him very much and he is my favorite wrestler. 💪🔥🥰

[@84Victorious]

Massive respect for Drew, it's hard to talk about things he spoke about but I appreciated it.

[@mjinked]

This guy is one of the best interviewers period!

[@user-ln8bj4ze4c]

Him and Reigns are the two best at the moment. Both guys are on another level to the rest of the full timers in WWE

[@thomasmuller1425]

Okay my respect for this man has gone up the roof after watching this interview & Drew reunite with his family. A true definition of a hard worker, an inspiration, etc. More importantly, he DESERVES another World Championship reign & he deserves to win it in front of a live crowd. I wish nothing but the best for Drew McIntyre.

[@xypa-fr3yx]

Drew is fantastic. Time he gets to start a feud with Roman soon.

[@TheKlevon24]

Drew McIntyre is the best

[@TattedGinger.88]

Ariel does the best face to face interviews and zoom/skype interviewer around , not sure if anyones agress but i honestly think that.

[@magicbutterflysmith7070]

Despite any haters on Drew or Roman, I’ll always love and respect these two.

Left the WWE as a boy who needed to grow up and returned a man who was ready to step up and become the main event talent we all knew he could be. The whole of Britain is immensely proud of this man 🇬🇧

[@pirajacinto4]

My GOSH is Drew such an awesome speaker. Twice he made me teary eyed with his story telling. I just love it.

[@bryanmorrison2396]

He deserves to dethrone Roman for this interview alone. Imagine he beats Roman and Brock at Mania as that woukd be a sic triple threat for both titles even WOW

[@gregluv5294]

Really enjoyable interviews !

[@diluted8]

Lov this setting and guest. Great work Ariel. I love hearing the soundscape behind Drew.

For that dream run, "Broken Dreams" should be brought back. Can't define his career more than the lyrics on the song. A great run awaits.

[@bryanmorrison2396]

Literally grew up with n British bull dog n brett heart SS match git ne likimg wrestling then in 03/04 stopped had my 2 sins 6 n 3 years ago n got bk into it having a guy 10mile down the road not only be first Scottish but brutish wwe champ just made me love Wwe even more. When he came bk as Sckttish phyco was amazing n a gen uo cldnt see him as a face then 😂 how wring was a lol. He never puts a bad match on hes a fkn beast n hell be a multi champ in next decade as in7, 8,9 time no just 2. Still 2 n a rumbme win n was one only decent big draws during empty arena era. Wwe ended uo smashing that too with Thunderdome (kudos just sitting tginking that was a fkn great idea for atmosphere"

[@nickmorris9311]

Why did they wait so long to release this

[@joshola353]

He looks like lil spooky from OMB

[@neilpa]

Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. RANGNICK'S (Ole 3.0) at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. MAN UNITED ARE BACK!!!!!

[@theodimopoulos3825]

I hope he asked drew mcintyre about impact wrestling i havent watched all of it

[@devastatorsarmy6611]

Like I said ever since I became a fan of Drew I have always wanted to see him v Brock like I said I am a huge fan of Brock his Dominance in the ring Unmatchable and ever since I became a fan of Drew I had 1 thought could Drew go 1 on 1 with Brock and who would win out of the 2 so Wrestlemania 36 was by far in my opinion my dream match Brock vs Drew

[@saintofselhurst]

Is it me or is Drew's accent going American?

[@jonathanadamski]

Aye, it's mess.

[@lewissmith3896]

It's been going yank for years.

Seems a great guy. But where in the name of God did he find that Glaswegian/Californian hybrid accent?

These actors shouldn’t be allowed to pretend to be pro athletes. I dont mind Ariel interviewing them on BT Sports but they should be out of character and talk about the training, gym work they do, and maybe some of the acting performances etc. These guys are performance artists after all. WWE = 💩

[@OdynFX]

Performance artists that get injured more than in any sport out there u bellend

[@kimjong699]

I will never forget how Ariel recorded himself crying lmao he’s a grown man and cried because of Dana White. I can’t make this up
