Drew McIntyre recently appeared for an interview on The Jake Asman Show. During the show, McIntyre discussed his Wrestlemania match against the Beast Incarnate in great detail. He also revealed that he was ready to take Lesnar down if he tried to attack him before the match kicked off in the empty Performance Center.

“It almost felt like I was in a bar fight with Brock Lesnar, an empty bar with a ring in it, a street fight, if you like. If you could’ve read my mind, I remember thinking – Don’t try any funny business Brock or I’ll drop you where you stand,” mentioned the Scottish Warrior.
