The only way to Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship is through the Bloodline, especially since Reigns owes most of his defenses to their interference.
Much like Brock Lesnar before him, Drew McIntyre fought through them enroute to Clash at the Castle before Solo Sikoa made his main roster debut and cost him the match.
Drew’s still in the hunt for the title but he’s making a pitstop to deal with Karrion Kross at Extreme Rules first. To talk about both, he recently say down with the Dallas Morning News for an interview.
Getting a break
Drew was asked about not getting a break with regular matches with Kross and others always after him.
“No [laughs]. I don’t think so. I suffer for the company, suffer from my art – constantly, it feels like. But that comes with the territory being the workhorse of WWE, being the conscience, I guess, of WWE. You ain’t gonna find Roman Reigns doing the schedule that I do. I keep the championship schedule. I’m happy to do it. I’m happy to do the media responsibilities. I’m happy to represent the company on the weekend live events. This is my dream. It’s a privilege to do it. And if it involves getting beat with chairs … still be involved in the strap match with Kross, who has managed to divert my attention away from the title, so be it. Even though he keeps attacking me from behind. If it’s not him attacking me, it’s his girl [Scarlett] low blowing me from behind. I’ll do what I have to do get through all these new challenges and get my way back to Roman.”
With attacks coming from every side, it’s understandable that Drew’s ready to fight everyone he has to, and that includes the Rock and elders, to get the title off of Reigns.
“Apparently, I’ll have to go through not just The Bloodline – because I did that prior to Clash at the Castle – then the elders and a new member [Solo Sikoa]. I’m going to have to literally go through the entire family like door to door. And I like The Rock a lot. It’s gonna pain me deeply when I go through the entire family, have to go to Hollywood, tap The Rock’s door and say, ‘I’m sorry, brother,’ then beat him on his own doorstep because it’s the only way I’m gonna get that title off Roman.”
With so much stacked against him, it’s hard to envision Drew winning the title unless he gets some help in cleaning out the Bloodline and other obstacles.
What do you think? Will Drew succeed in his quest for the title or will the Bloodline once more get in the way? Let us know in the comments below.
