Drew McIntyre isn’t backing down from his controversial statement that 85% of the WWE roster doesn’t look like they belong in the company. In fact, he dared anyone in the locker room to step up and confront him if they have a problem.

While speaking on The Ringer, Drew McIntyre was asked how the locker room reacted when he said that 85% of the roster doesn’t look like they belong in WWE.

McIntyre said people can see for themselves he’s not lying. He also asked if anyone had the guts to say something to his face. In his opinion, if someone has a problem, they should talk to him directly. He added that if it’s a big problem, they can fight him.

The Scottish Warrior confidently said he’d destroy anyone in a verbal battle, whether face-to-face or on social media. He believes he’s too smart, too quick and too strong for anyone to beat. He even joked that if he weren’t married he’d take their girlfriend, making it clear he’s not someone to mess with.

“You’ve got eyeballs, you tell me. Am I lying? No. Any feedback from the locker room? Would you have said something to me? I always say, if you got a problem, take it up with me. If you got a big problem, then fight me.

I’m gonna verbally rip you apart. You can try on social media—I can rip you apart on there too. I’m too quick with my brain, I’m too big to beat up, so what you gonna do? If I wasn’t married, I’d take your girl. I ain’t one to mess with.”

This comes after Drew McIntyre revealed how frustrated he is that some WWE wrestlers appear on big TV shows and other platforms but don’t look like they belong in WWE. He claimed that about 85% of the roster doesn’t have the strong, star-like look that fans expect.

“Yeah. And the more you put me in those situations—especially with WWE—it drives me nuts when I see some of our guys on these huge public platforms, huge TV shows.

Because these days, no offense, but 85% of our guys don’t look like they should be in WWE. They’re on Netflix and stuff, and my buddies will contact me and go, ‘Yo, I just turned on wrestling for a bit to see what you’re up to.’

It’s cool to see people. Oh, Logan Paul’s on there and he’s killing it. Roman Reigns—what a freaking star. The guy comes on the screen and just pops right off it. He’s a freaking giant.

Then there’s these other guys who look like they should be serving me my fast food at McDonald’s or something, and I’m thinking, ‘I could kick their ass.’ It takes me out of it.”

It’s very clear that Drew McIntyre couldn’t care less how the WWE locker room would react to his controversial remarks. Therefore, we’ll have to see if anyone does end up confronting him, as it seems really unlikely right now.
