Drew McIntyre isn't your average troll.
Throughout 2024 and into 2025, Drew McIntyre has sparked a lot of buzz with his activity on social media. He often took shots at CM Punk and other talent as part of his on-screen feuds with them. In the process, McIntyre built up quite a reputation as a troll on social media.
During a virtual media event ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp asked McIntre whether anyone has ever come up to him backstage about tweeting about them and complained.
"No, they go to management and cry. Then, I laugh and say, ‘What are they going to do about it? Tell them to beat me up, but they can’t.’ You have to have thick skin in this game. It drives me crazy, people with thin skin. That’s the one thing I’ll give Punk credit, he’s got some thick skin when it comes to the words and gives what he can in the ring, he’s very lucky he defeated me through blood loss in the match. This is what it’s all about. We’re in a new world today. It’s not just can you get it done in the ring, can you get it done on the microphone, where perhaps it’s a little more controlled? I can be a little more free these days, but you can’t stop me on social media. Nobody can go toe to toe with me online, on the mic, or in the ring. I’m the complete package. To cap it all off, I’m not your average...people like to say I’m a troll. Priest makes his little comments on TV, I’ve heard Seth make some comments on TV about ‘the troll.’ I’m not a troll. I’m not your average troll. I’ll rip you apart on social media, the you think of somebody who is sniveling behind a keyboard in their mother’s basement. That ain’t Drew McIntyre. I’ll tear you to pieces online then I’ll step behind the keyboard and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, he’s going to kick my ass too.’ I do kick your ass. You’re lucky I’m married or I’d take your girl too. That’s the kind of troll I am, and no one can frickin stop me," McIntyre said.
