Drew McIntyre’s SmackDown promo seems to have left this WWE Hall of Famer confused.
The Undisputed WWE Champion opened SmackDown last week. However, McIntyre did not even get a chance to enter the ring, as he was attacked by Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare then cut a promo in which he acknowledged the Raheem meme.
Later in the show, Drew McIntyre was attacked by Jacob Fatu. The Scottish Warrior finally got an opportunity to speak after both Rhodes and Fatu were removed from the arena by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
McIntyre referenced CM Punk and Roman Reigns’ heated exchange from RAW while attempting to rally the SmackDown roster, pointing out that both Punk and Reigns had downplayed the Undisputed Title and the blue brand.
Bully Ray reacts to Drew McIntyre’s WWE SmackDown promo
Speaking on Busted Open, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray suggested that Drew McIntyre’s SmackDown promo carried babyface undertones, while also questioning CM Punk and Roman Reigns’ attempt to bury the top champion on the blue brand.
“This didn’t make sense. I don’t know why you’re burying the other guy who’s your champion and the other brand. Now maybe, hopefully, they’ll come full circle and give us a reason. But in all my time, all I can say right now is to quote the great Jeff Spicoli, I don’t know,” Bully Ray said.
“I’m sorry to repeat myself a little bit. I don’t know why you go out of your way to bury Drew, the championship, and SmackDown. I don’t know why you put a promo in the guy’s mouth that I liked, meanwhile, he just eliminated the biggest babyface in the company out of the Royal Rumble when he wasn’t even in the match. It’s like a toxic girlfriend.
“The only way it would have made sense to me in this point in time is if we were going into Survivor Series. A declaration of war. ‘Don’t you dare speak about my brand and my roster the way you have. We’ll show you. We’re declaring war on you.’ Okay, we’re going to get a Raw versus SmackDown, traditional Survivor Series match. I get it.
“Are we going to have three guys from SmackDown versus three guys from Raw in the Elimination Chamber? And are the SmackDown guys going to fight as one against the Raw guys, even though it’s every man for himself in the Chamber? It’s trying to connect the dot here,” Bully Ray said.
