Drew McIntyre can't be silenced.
Drew McIntyre is sidelined with a fractured elbow, but he continues to appear on WWE Raw. On the May 13 episode, World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest agreed to give him a title shot once he was cleared.
On May 20, Drew McIntyre took to Twitter/X to send a message to World Heavyweight Champion Damoan Priest after his brief appearance in a backstage segment on WWE Raw.
"Management and Adam Pearce think they can silence me. They should already know, I’m Drew McIntyre, and I am very, very good at this. I’m always one step ahead of everybody. Bring me to the show, try not to put me on TV. No, I’ll force my way on TV, and in the end, I got this platform that’s growing. I will weaponize it, and I will say what I want, when I want. There’s not a damn thing you can do to stop me. So as I was saying on Raw, it’s all falling apart for you, [Damian] Priest. You lost control of your little emo group. You’ve got people coming for you, and you’ve barely even started with all the extracurricular that comes with being the guy. I’m having to do that for you. This is very much my locker room. Always has been. My turf, where I grew up, and I’m the champion, whether I got the title right now or not. It’s just a matter of time before I get that title back. You made one good point last week though. It wasn’t about getting attacked from behind by that bitch CM Punk, it wasn’t about leaving right away after the match, which I should have done, even though I literally spelled out what I planned to do, looking for your cheap pops. It certainly wasn’t about recycling the same joke Sheamus made already, getting your was beat by the one-arm man [fake laughs]. Again, spinning things, looking for that cheap pop, just like him. No, I gave you the blueprint on how to cash in. Look what happened? You ran with it, you won. So in a way, Drew McIntyre beat Drew McIntyre. It didn’t matter who was holding the briefcase because I’m such leader and honest to my own detriment at times with my advice," Drew McIntyre said.
Drew McIntyre went on to say that he did not want Priest to beat Seth Rollins at WWE WrestleMania XL, as he aimed to do that himself. He stated that Priest was spreading himself too thin, and he was not the world champion that Raw needed. McIntyre gave Priest credit and said he would see him soon.
"But here’s the truth. I didn’t want you to beat Seth. I made that very clear, no matter how you want to spin it. Watch the footage back. I hate explaining myself, but society has such short attention spans these days, I literally need to. I wanted to beat the real champion, the man who made the title. So credit where credit is due, just because I think you’re spreading yourself way too thin. Again, more advice that might hurt me in the future, you’re not the man that Raw needs as champion right now. Not the world champion. It doesn’t mean I don’t value you. Quite the opposite in fact. You’re a specimen, a beast in the ring. You’ve shown you more than belong, and I’ve got a place for you on my show, right near the top. Right up there. Unfortunately, you reached your peak right around the same time Drew McIntyre started to reach his. That’s it. See you soon, champ," McIntyre said.
You can’t silence me.

I’ll use all my platforms to talk, it doesn’t matter if it’s in front of 15,000 people, backstage or in my car…#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/YH6y1EqyIz
