The confrontation unfolded during McIntyre’s promo when he responded to comments made about himself and the WWE Championship on Raw, igniting tension between the SmackDown and Raw rosters.
Drew McIntyre positioned himself as the leader defending SmackDown’s honor, calling remarks by CM Punk and Roman Reigns a “declaration of war” between the brands. Trick Williams interrupted McIntyre’s promo, shifting the focus to a personal challenge for McIntyre’s championship status.
Reflection on McIntyre’s Role and Trick’s Ambition
Speaking on 107.7 The Bone radio, Trick Williams shared his perspective on the developing rivalry with McIntyre. He recognized Drew as a formidable champion, admiring the strong presence he carries both inside and outside the ring.
Trick commented,
“First things first, Drew is absolutely right, we wanna be the top brand, the top show in the world, point blank period. Yes we’re competing with Raw, we’re competing with everybody who thinks they have wrestling programming. So yes we wanna be the best show.”
He added respect for McIntyre’s stature:
“As far as Drew, it’s nothing personal, he’s just the guy that is in the top spot. I’ve got nothing but love and respect for Drew. When you think about guys who are supposed to hold that title, you wanna see a grown man, an alpha man, when you walk through the airport people turn their heads, he looks like the Scottish Warrior he is, and we appreciate that.”
Williams expressed his eagerness to face McIntyre in the ring, aiming for a showdown of equals:
“That’s the type of guys who I wanna line up against, you know what I mean. I want two alpha males; lions, tigers and bears, oh my.”
