Top star and former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has called out Seth Rollins after the WrestleMania Kickoff event.
At WWE’s WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference, Cody Rhodes finally made his decision to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the event much to the dismay of Reigns and his cousin The Rock.
However, Rhodes had one supporter on the stage in the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. The former rivals were opposite The Bloodline family members in a heated exchange following The Rock slapping Cody in the face.
On February 9, Drew McIntyre took to social media to share a video where he calls out Rollins for being allowing himself and his title to be talked down to by everyone at the event. Addressing Cody’s decision, he said:
“Shall we talk about that press conference then? Rock, Roman, Cody, was Seth there? I can’t remember…no, no he was there. Before I get to Seth, and I will get to Seth, let’s talk about Cody.”
“Well done, you finally found your balls and made the right call. Good for you. It just took some McIntyre truth bombs and beating your arse on Monday for playing games with everybody, but you go and finish that story, kid. Congratulations!”
On Seth Rollins being overshadowed at the presser, McIntyre said:
“Now, our World Heavyweight Champion, he came out on the stage, danced, said a whole bunch of nothing and then stood by the side as the others talked down to him, talked down about the title, talked down about our locker room.”
“The man’s not the leader you think he is. I would never let anyone, not Cody, not The Rock, certainly not Roman talk about my title in that way.”
“Have some pride mate. Take the attention. It’s clear more than ever Raw needs a change. It’s clear Seth isn’t up to the job mentally as well as physically now.”
“Pat McAfee even called Seth the bloody forgotten name in all of this at the start of the presser. Come on man! People forgot his name because he’s allowed it.”
“Played the clown. He’s been overshadowed. Enough is enough and it’s time for a change.”
McIntyre concluded by stating his goal of walking out of WrestleMania 40 as World Heavyweight Champion. He said:
“Last night was a bunch of chosen ones when the original Chosen One was left at home. I hope you’re all seeing now that I’m the only person in this place who has been telling you the truth the entire time.”
“The only one who is actually stuck by my convictions. There’s a lot moving parts going on right now. A lot of possible roads, but they all lead to the same possible destination at WrestleMania: Drew McIntyre, World Heavyweight Champion.”
It remains to be seen how WWE will determine who will challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40, but with the Elimination Chamber looming on February 24, fans should learn soon.
