“I’m very excited about it, personally. I’ve seen some of the comments when the match was made, the internet can be very harsh place.” said Drew McIntyre, “I appreciate all my fans around the world, their reaction is, ‘Drew’s not wrestling for the title?

Drew McIntyre On The Talent Of Happy Corbin
Drew McIntyre said that he understands the sentiment of the fans. Though according to him, anyone who believes Corbin is not talented in the ring, is lying to themselves:
“I understand that and I appreciate that, but the way I see it is, aside from his obvious talent in the ring – anyone who says he’s not talented in-ring is lying to themselves.”
Drew mentioned how Happy Corbin is a genuinely hated bad guy that everyone dislikes. He explained that a true bad guy is somebody you literally despise and want to see getting their butt kicked.
