Drew McIntyre says he's still chasing his WrestleMania moment

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is hopeful that he'll finally get his 'WrestleMania moment' in front of a live crowd.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WrestleMania 36 took place inside the Performance Center without a crowd. The Scottish Warrior dethroned Brock Lesnar to capture the WWE Championship at the event. While it was a special moment for him, it wasn't complete without fans in attendance.

During a recent interview with Bleacher Report, Drew McIntyre revealed that he plans to win the Royal Rumble match and get his moment with the fans at WrestleMania 38.

"It's WrestleMania season! Then I'll win the Royal Rumble and go to WrestleMania and finally get my WrestleMania moment I've been chasing for the last couple of years. As proud as I am of headlining WrestleMania 36 in the times that we were in... I'm still chasing that moment with fans in the building, and hopefully it can happen this year at AT&T Stadium," said Drew McIntyre.

Needless to say, it was a pleasure to see everyone again at WrestleMania. Thank you for the support, WWE Universe pic.twitter.com/c7xnpLUqSF

Drew McIntyre says he's expecting big things for himself in 2022

The Scottish Warrior had an incredible run in WWE last year. McIntyre spent the majority of 2020 as WWE Champion and defeated the likes of Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, and Seth Rollins.

While he hasn't been as successful in 2021 as last year, McIntyre stated that he's expecting big things next year.

Here's what McIntyre said:

"With all those ups and downs and when things didn't seem to be going too well for me, I got back on track, moved from Raw to SmackDown, and had that fresh start and been on a roll recently heading into the new year. I expect big things for Drew McIntyre in 2022."
