Drew McIntyre is keeping the pressure on Jacob Fatu, and his latest message took a sarcastic shot that fans immediately picked up on.

On April 10, 2026, McIntyre took to social media ahead of WWE SmackDown and posted a message directed at San Jose, the hometown of Jacob Fatu. The post came with a video showing McIntyre speaking to fans gathered outside in the rain.

In the video, McIntyre addressed the crowd and joked about the weather before turning his attention directly toward Fatu. That’s when he slipped in a clear troll, claiming that Fatu wouldn’t be around because he had “community service” to deal with, a line taking a shot at Jacob’s past.

"How are we all? Wow. What are you out here? Thank you for waiting in the rain. I know it's pretty cold. I never thought California rain, so I'm a little bit disappointed. I appreciate you all coming out. San Jose is my town. You know, Jacob's from here, but, you know, he's got community service, so he can't show up. You tell us for the people. So I will see you all."

Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre are already set to collide at WrestleMania in an unsanctioned match, meaning there will be no disqualifications or count-outs when they finally meet in the ring. That stipulation alone promises a brutal showdown, and McIntyre’s latest troll only adds more heat to the rivalry.

McIntyre clearly isn’t backing down from the verbal shots, and if this kind of trolling continues, things could get even more heated before WrestleMania arrives.

Do you think Drew McIntyre crossed the line with the community service comment, or is this exactly the kind of trash talk this feud needs? Let us know what you think.
