Drew McIntyre will stop at nothing until he becomes a World Champion again and that’s why he is determined to win the Elimination Chamber this week. Ahead of the event, McIntyre decided to call out John Cena in a scathing rant.
The Scottish Psychopath took to Twitter and uploaded a video, where he targeted John Cena. He reminded everyone that after the Royal Rumble, Cena told the press that anyone in the Elimination Chamber match could take shots at him while he was away and that he would see them in Toronto. Despite that, no one had said anything except CM Punk, who made a small comment about Cena putting himself in the match.
“Over four weeks ago, Cena sat in that press room after the Royal Rumble and said, ‘All of you in the Elimination Chamber match can literally bury me when I’m not here, and I’ll see you all in Toronto.’ Maybe it was some kind of clever reverse psychology because I watched and waited, and I’m sure Cena has watched and waited, and nobody has said a word—except Punk’s little, ‘Hey, he put himself in the match.’ And I thought, why is that?”
McIntyre wondered why none of the other wrestlers spoke up, even though the Chamber was full of top stars. He questioned if they were afraid to upset Cena, who was once WWE’s biggest star.
McIntyre made it clear that this wasn’t 2010 anymore and that Cena had given them all the chance to call him out. He also pointed out how hard it is to build a rivalry with someone who is barely around but assured Cena he would handle it, just like he did with CM Punk last year.
The Scottish Warrior then mocked Cena’s part-time schedule, saying that without him keeping Cena’s name relevant, fans would probably forget he was still in WWE. He didn’t care that Cena entered the match, but he called out how it went against everything Cena claimed to stand for. He questioned whether Cena’s values were real or just a way to sell T-shirts.
“The Chamber is stacked with some of the biggest names in the industry, and here we are. Are we not secure enough in ourselves, guys? Are we worried about our careers if we offend the former golden goose? Nah. It’s not 2010. Is it that we’re worried he won’t want to do business, even though he literally gave everyone the opportunity to unload? And I know he meant it. I know it’s tough to do business when you can’t see someone because they’re never around, but don’t worry, mate—I got you.
Just like I did with Punk last year, I’ll keep your name relevant when you’re on the sidelines instead of fans saying, ‘Oh yeah, damn, I forgot he was here on that full-time retirement tour. That’s cool.’ I don’t care that you put yourself in the match. Sure, you compromised all your values with that move—was it really your values, or just words and phrases to sell T-shirts? Either way, I don’t care.”
McIntyre noted that his personal issues with John Cena had been building for years. McIntyre noted that Cena might not even remember the moments that led to it, but McIntyre did. He wasn’t a young rookie anymore—he was a man, and Cena was going to be trapped in the Chamber with him.
Drew added that Cena justified his spot in the match by saying he had put in the work, and no one could argue that. He had been one of the hardest-working wrestlers ever. But his real reason was that he was a big star, and that was “best for business.” McIntyre sarcastically pointed out that by that logic, they could throw Sydney Sweeney in the Chamber, and it would be even bigger.
“My personal issues with you go back years, and the funny thing is, you won’t even remember any of these incidents—because I was one of many. Your problem is, I do. I’m not a kid anymore. I’m a man. A big, angry psychopath. You’re locked inside the Chamber with me.
What was your justification for being in the match? You put in your time? Sure you did, you’re Cena—nobody put in more time than you. But your main point was that you’re a big star and that’s what’s best for business. In the short term? Absolutely. You’re John Cena. You’re a massive star. But going by your logic, we could put Sydney Sweeney inside that Elimination Chamber, and it would be twice as big.”
Drew noted there was still a lot to be said, but one thing was certain—Cena wouldn’t have an easy road to WrestleMania. McIntyre, a two-time Chamber winner, was coming to tie Cena’s record and prove his dominance.
A year ago, the path to WrestleMania was just as uncertain, but things changed. McIntyre made one final promise: Cena would be safe inside the Chamber—until it was time to take him down for good.
“We’ve got a lot of talking to do, and if you think you’re walking out of that Chamber with a clear road to WrestleMania, you’re mistaken. I’m a two-time winner inside the Chamber, looking to tie your record. I’m the sword of justice, and I’m going back-to-back in this thing. I’m locked in, and there are no more BS distractions.
This time last year—just over a year ago—my path to WrestleMania was even more unclear than it is right now, and look what happened. It starts all over again this Saturday in Toronto. I’m gonna make sure you’re kept safe, John—inside that Chamber—until it’s my time to bury you.”
Drew McIntyre will be competing in the Elimination Chamber match against John Cena, CM Punk, Damian Priest, Seth Rollins and Logan Paul. He clearly has his work cut out for him but McIntyre will try to win at any cost, so it remains to be seen if he will be successful in the end.
