Drew McIntyre Addresses Negative Reaction To His WWE WrestleMania 38 Match

Drew McIntyre's WrestleMania 38 opponent was revealed on Thursday and WWE announced The Scottish Warrior will face off with Happy Corbin on night one.

The match received a negative response from the vast majority of fans on social media and McIntyre addressed that feedback, tweeting: "I've seen your responses and I appreciate the support. I'm in this industry to win titles and be in marquee fights, my time will come again. Corbin is a hell of a competitor, however he's proved to be about as smart as he is funny picking a fight with me. #WrestleMania."

McIntyre has been feuding with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss for the last several months and the heel team wrote Drew off TV at Day 1 with a post-match attack so the two-time WWE Champion could recover from a nagging neck issue. McIntyre then returned at the Royal Rumble and he has since picked up a couple of more wins over Moss, although he is yet to face Corbin in 2022.

McIntyre and Corbin have went one-on-one several times before, though, including in three singles matches between May 2020 and August 2021. The Scottish Warrior won all three of those encounters.
