Drew McIntyre has clinched the Undisputed WWE Championship, marking a significant win that sparked a notable reaction from the Scottish National Football Team. The team celebrated McIntyre’s achievement following his victory on WWE SmackDown, fueling a surge of pride for Scotland as their own shines on the global wrestling stage.
McIntyre Secures Title in Dramatic Showdown
In the latest edition of WWE SmackDown, Drew McIntyre triumphed over Cody Rhodes in a grueling Three Stages of Hell Match to earn the title of Undisputed WWE Champion. The match reached its peak when Jacob Fatu made a surprise return, turning attention toward both McIntyre and Rhodes during the tense conclusion. This fight ended Cody Rhodes’ second reign, which had begun at SummerSlam 2025 when he overcame John Cena for the title. McIntyre’s hard-fought success quickly became a point of national pride, drawing the attention of fellow Scottish athletes.
Scottish National Football Team’s Playful Response
Shortly after McIntyre shared his championship-winning moment online, the Scottish National Football Team responded by acknowledging their countryman’s accomplishment. They sent out a light-hearted message on X, highlighting how closely Scottish athletes across different sports follow and support one another.
“Nice shirt, @DMcIntyreWWE,” wrote the Scotland National Football Team.
Champion Reflects on Emotional Moments in WWE
Drew McIntyre recently opened up about one of the most difficult experiences of his WWE tenure, sharing his feelings with fans after defending his title in Glasgow. He addressed the crowd with heartfelt words, referencing a past event that left a lasting impression and expressing his desire to make amends with his supporters and fellow Scots.
“But there was a moment that night. It was the worst moment of my career when I had to sing a stupid song with Tyson Fury. So I want to make it up right now. I know I have a great voice, as you saw, so I’m gonna need some help. I want to show the world what Scotland is capable of… So, let’s send a message to the lads [the Scottish football team] out there. We’ll just do the chorus. You know the words, so help me out. [Proceeds to sing]… Cheers Glasgow. Goodnight. I love you all,”
The Scotsman’s previous stint as World Champion dates back to WrestleMania XL, where he defeated Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. That victory soon turned tumultuous when CM Punk got involved in a post-match confrontation, which allowed Damian Priest to capitalize and secure the championship for himself with a Money in the Bank cash-in.
