McIntyre’s Casual Response to Lesnar’s Arrival
During the interview, McIntyre described his initial reaction as very low-key, recalling how he simply noticed Lesnar’s comeback without overthinking it. He mentioned that he had just finished wrestling on the first night of the two-day SummerSlam event, which drew a combined crowd of 113,000 attendees, before flying home to the Nashville area. It was there that he saw Lesnar’s appearance and remarked on it without any astonishment or alarm.
“And I’d finished my last appearance. I got on a plane, I believe I just arrived home in the Nashville area here when I saw it, and I went, oh, there he is. Brock is back, and he’s The Beast. He causes a lot of headlines. And most importantly, he’s also the guy I beat in the main event of WrestleMania for my first WWE Championship in five minutes.”
