Drew McIntyre talks current character, Seth Rollins injury, more

[Chris]

On his current character:

"I mean, it’s different. Obviously, Hunter learned under Vince, and he created the world that we’re currently in. But Hunter is very much of the modern thinking.”

“For Vince, I think for me personally, he had a certain image of me, and he was always looking to protect me as this warrior character.”

“If I went to try something outside the box, the stuff I’m doing now, for me personally, it probably wouldn’t happen just because he was like, ‘No, this is my Drew. This is my warrior. This is how I see it.’ And Hunter was very much of the mindset, we’re going to try something different.”

“We’re going to try this and let you be yourself and let this personality that he knew I had shine. And from the second we had our first conversation when he took over, it’s been exactly that. We’ve developed this McIntyre character and we watched what happened with the Bloodline.”

“I have a big voice in it but it’s the creative team, it’s Hunter himself, it’s all of us working together.”

On advice for Logan Paul:

“People don’t believe it and they’re going to laugh when I say it, the marks out there, but eventually you’re going to turn babyface like Dominik’s doing right now. There’s a fine line between love and hate, and eventually you’re going to be getting wildly cheered down the line.”

On Seth Rollins's injury:

“I just don’t see the benefit if it was a storyline. Like, it’s the Money in the Bank briefcase, It’s gonna be a surprise, anyway.”

“I mean, I love a surprise. At the same time I can’t see it. But at the same time I don’t have to be able to see it if there’s a bigger plan.”
