Speaking on the Wafflin’ podcast, the Scottish Warrior said that his promos are 100% his own creation—unfiltered and unscripted. He stated, “The words that come out of my mouth? That’s me. No one can tell me how to be Drew McIntyre, ’cause I’m Drew McIntyre.”

He’s one of the few who can make bold comments like these because he never holds back. Recently, he even called out some of the new generation superstars without hesitation.
