Drew McIntyre Breaks Silence After Winning WWE Championship in Europe

Drew McIntyre didn’t just win the Undisputed WWE Championship — he took it home.

In a new digital exclusive posted on WWE’s official platforms, the Scottish Warrior spoke for the first time following his massive victory over Cody Rhodes in the 3 Stages of Hell match on the January 9 edition of SmackDown from Berlin. McIntyre, who ended Rhodes’ 159-day reign in dramatic fashion, reflected on the personal weight of the moment — standing in Europe as world champion.

“Said I was bringing this title home. Keep a few years. Never lie on Scottish soil. WWE Champion say it’s surreal. It does not matter what I am. Thank God I am home.”

In the short but powerful message, McIntyre acknowledged his roots and the journey back to the top.

“Went to university. Thirty minutes from here. That’s a lie. Probably fifty minutes from here. Grew up forty minutes from here.”

McIntyre’s win wasn’t just another title change — it was a redemption arc. After years of near-misses and heartbreak, he now enters WrestleMania season holding WWE’s top prize.

The victory came after both McIntyre and Rhodes reportedly pitched the chaotic steel cage finish involving the surprise return of Jacob Fatu, who laid out both men before McIntyre managed to crawl out of the cage with the championship.

And just one day later, McIntyre logged onto Twitter and twisted the knife, posting a screenshot of over-the-top fan reactions to Cody’s loss with no caption — just pure, quiet trolling.

With the title finally in his hands, Drew McIntyre has made it clear: this isn’t just a win. It’s personal. It’s homegrown. And it’s far from over.
