"I felt like a traitor" - Drew McIntyre shares the truth on his move to SmackDown (Exclusive)

WWE superstar Drew McIntyre opened up on his recent move to the blue brand during the 2021 WWE Draft.

Drew McIntyre mentioned that he felt like a traitor when he moved from RAW to SmackDown. The Scottish Warrior detailed that he had been the face and champion for RAW for so long that it seemed like the two were synonymous with each other. However, Drew was excited heading into Brooklyn this Sunday to come face-to-face with some old adversaries.

Here's what Drew McIntyre had to say:

"Initially, when I moved from RAW to SmackDown, I felt like a traitor (...). I've been the face of RAW, the champion of RAW. You'd think Drew McIntyre and RAW were synonymous with each other. But suddenly I was on

SmackDown. But it wasn't my choice and realistically if I look at the Drew McIntyre story, it all began on SmackDown and things didn't go very well the first time."

"I'm looking to make things right this time and fix that part of my history. You know, I've got over it, I've got a few weeks to think about it. I've started getting my momentum going on SmackDown with my open challenge and now I have to face my demons, face RAW head on and kick the crap out of them," Drew said.
