Drew McIntyre recently sat down with Chris Van Vliet for a detailed conversation on Insight. ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ was asked about the role of Nick Aldis screwing him over in his recently concluded feud with Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE title. The show host inquired McIntyre if he would ever want to get in the ring with the SmackDown GM.

The Scot was immediately on board with the idea and started to underscore the fan investment that comes along every time he and Aldis go back and forth on the mic with each other. Storyline-wise, Aldis took away McIntyre’s chance of walking into WrestleMania 42 as the WWE Champion by booking a rematch with Rhodes on SmackDown after the Elimination Chamber.

‘The American Nightmare’ defeated McIntyre to become a 3-time WWE Champion and also avenged his title loss to Drew in that Three Stages of Hell match that happened in Berlin. McIntyre believes the story for him to go with Aldis is already there, and they have the physicality to back it up. ‘The Chosen One’ mocked the erstwhile Magnus by calling him a corporate stooge for siding with Rhodes.

Every time we go back and forth on the microphone, I can feel the people starting to get into it. He took away the biggest moment for me, being champion at WrestleMania. We have this story built in, and then we have the physicality and how good the match is going to be………When the time was right, be it Mania or after Mania, I think we should have a match, and I don’t think there should be any sanctioning around it.

McIntyre said that Aldis’ son must be ashamed of having such a corporate stooge for a father, who pledged his allegiance to Rhodes, over someone he has been longtime friends with. The Ayr-born wrestler doesn’t care if he gets to wrestle Nick Aldis at a future WrestleMania or on any other show. But the thing he fixated on is wanting their match to be an unsanctioned one.

Drew McIntyre stressed that the Brit has years of in-ring acumen with him, and it definitely makes up for a compelling clash of these two men. Aldis has proven to have a very strong on-screen presence with every angle he gets involved in. He has grown on the WWE audience to a point where it wouldn’t be remiss to say that he’d get over as an active WWE wrestler in a heartbeat if he started competing again.

Drew McIntyre had some harsh words for Jacob Fatu on this week’s SmackDown

In just about two weeks’ time, Drew McIntyre will take on Jacob Fatu in an unsanctioned match at WrestleMania. Their rivalry has been infused with both men having pure hatred for each other. McIntyre loathes Fatu for the latter costing him the WWE title to Cody Rhodes, and Fatu, in turn, has time and again accused McIntyre of ambushing him last year, which took months off his career.

On this week’s SmackDown, Drew McIntyre said that he had his moment right in front of him, with his family set to attend WrestleMania and see the Scot walk out in front of them as the WWE Champion. Even Shakespeare couldn’t have written it any better. However, it got stolen from him by ‘The Samoan Werewolf’.

The former 3MB member went off on Fatu by calling him nothing more than a criminal and a thief that’ll never change. McIntyre berated his WrestleMania opponent by saying he was merely a pathetic dirty convict. He then said that the former US Champion is in WWE just because of his family.

McIntyre took a moment to reaffirm how the family that Fatu is linked to, the Bloodline, made his life a living hell not that long ago. As for Fatu, the latter got adjudged as the nepo-criminal of his family, who couldn’t just outrun his past. McIntyre ultimately vowed to expose Jacob for what he truly is on next week’s SmackDown.

What does that mean? That’s one way to build some excitement around their feud this close to WrestleMania. McIntyre and Fatu have already had the brawls all over the place. A strong and somber face-to-face exchange on the microphone might just turn their differences up a notch.
