Drew McIntyre is making one thing clear: nothing is stopping him from winning the Elimination Chamber and taking his rightful place at WrestleMania. During the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 media call, McIntyre spoke with intensity about his mindset heading into one of the most brutal matches on the road to WrestleMania.
“I’m winning that match. I’m getting my title match against Cody. I’m getting my moment at WrestleMania… and I don’t care if anyone else likes it,” McIntyre declared.
The Scottish Warrior also reflected on his journey over the past year, including his rivalry with CM Punk and the challenges he’s faced in the title picture. After missing his chance to hold the WWE Championship in front of live crowds due to the pandemic, McIntyre sees this as his redemption moment.
“Last time I got it, obviously Punk screwed me over, then Priest capitalized like a freaking snake. I’m getting that run, and I don’t care if anyone else likes it.
If they do, cool—they’re with me through my struggle. But they’re gonna deal with it, and they’re gonna like it, because Drew McIntyre is simply the best right now.”
McIntyre didn’t hold back on his frustrations with how quickly fans and management move on from talent in WWE.
“It was for the fans before, but the reality is when I’m gone, they move on. I saw it when I was gone after Hell in a Cell. They move on so quick… I will not have any freaking regrets.”
With Elimination Chamber looming, McIntyre is focused on one goal—winning. And he’s not concerned with who stands in his way, be it CM Punk, Seth Rollins, or anyone else.
“I owe Punk one, but I’m not focused on him. I’m winning that match, I’m getting my title match against Cody, and I’m walking into WrestleMania to take what’s mine.”
McIntyre’s confidence is at an all-time high. Now, it’s only a matter of time before we see if his words translate into action inside the chamber.
