Drew McIntyre officially joined WWE SmackDown on February 7, and he explained why SmackDown was a better fit for him.
McIntyre said that he was angry after being eliminated in the Royal Rumble by Damian Priest, and that he may have broken some stuff in the back. He believed he was angry because of the environment on Raw. He said Raw is a toxic workplace where there are a bunch of egos and backstabbers.
McIntyre was interrupted by Jimmy Uso, who McIntyre called Jey Uso because he still can't tell them apart after 20 years.
Both men were interrupted by LA Knight, who said he didn't have any love for either man. Knight said that he wants to be someone who is positive and that it's okay to cry, but sometimes it becomes too much, pointing to McIntyre.
Knight closed by saying, he forgot to get his stuff in, reminding everyone whose game it is.
Drew McIntyre: "Después de ser eliminado en el Rumble por un cobarde, me puse furioso, fui a Nashville, me fui a la cama, me levanté y tuve una visión. Joder, estás petado y luces increíble. Por qué estoy tan enfadado. Hasta que vi que RAW es un sitio de trabajo tóxico. ADAM… pic.twitter.com/0IpXshwAWP
