\n Drew McIntyre isn\u2019t letting a pandemic stop him from making his reign as WWE champion a memorable one. The <\/span>Raw <\/span><\/i>superstar has put his all into every title defense match, knowing audiences at home were looking for something to take their minds off of the coronavirus crisis. Proudly wearing the gold, this imposing Scotsman puts a lot of pressure on himself to represent the company during unprecedented times. “I\u2019m proud of the work I\u2019ve done thus far as WWE champion,” he tells TV Insider.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the work is far from over. Up next is <\/span>SummerSlam <\/span><\/i>and a showdown with familiar foe Randy Orton. \u201cThe Viper\u201d struck first, hitting a trademark RKO after McIntyre\u2019s victory over Dolph Ziggler during the conclusion of the July 27 episode of <\/span>Raw<\/span><\/i>. This set the stage for what is shaping up to be the champ\u2019s fiercest challenge to date at the so-called Biggest Party of the Summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the marquee battle just weeks away, we caught up with McIntyre to get his thoughts on facing Orton and what\u2019s next for the two on <\/span>Raw<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been so dedicated on <\/b>Raw <\/i><\/b>as WWE champion, how would you say you\u2019ve done at the top?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Drew McIntyre:<\/b>\u00a0Nobody has been in the position I\u2019m currently in as WWE champion. I have made sure my work ethic isn\u2019t just in the ring, but that it\u2019s very much outside the ring. I\u2019m doing everything I can to promote the company and learn the inner-workings of the company and how it operates and how gigantic it truly is. I have been putting in the hours and time and broadening my horizons so that when we do get back on the road, it\u2019s going to be on another level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How would you say your relationship with WWE CEO Vince McMahon has grown from this experience?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always had a good relationship. Being WWE champion says a whole lot about the trust he has in me. That meant the world to me. I guess from my standpoint, that told me Vince is truly invested in me now. He trusts me. I\u2019ve earned that respect, put the time into that respect. I think that is what our relationship is based on, respect. It\u2019s based on honesty. If he doesn\u2019t like something, he is not shy to say so. I\u2019m very much the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much of an impact does it have on you when you read about lower ratings on WWE TV the last few weeks? Obviously, there are a lot of reasons that affect numbers. But what does that do to your mindset?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t bring me down. I\u2019ve been through so much. The ups and downs in my career. Some really low points. I don\u2019t let it get to me or distract me from the goal at home. I know a lot of previous champions have let it get to them. They\u2019ve suffered in their personal life as a result and lashed out on social media<\/a>. I don\u2019t allow it to get to me from that standpoint. Our WWE Universe, our audience is such a big part of the show. We\u2019re all just giving it all we can. I know we\u2019re learning through this period. <\/span><\/p>\n

The audience that has stuck around are getting to learn about the characters on a deeper level. I think because of this when we get back into the arenas, the viewership will grow. I think we will reach new heights to be honest because we\u2019re going to have so many compelling characters. A lot of superstars are maximizing their opportunity in this environment. Right now you can really develop your character on a deeper level through this unique lens. I think when we do get back in the arenas they will attract the attention of fans. I hear what is going on. I see what\u2019s going on social media. Things are gong well there, but they can also be better. Once we get back to normal, I think we\u2019ll reach new heights as a company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You mention people who have recently broken through. Is there anyone you\u2019re particularly proud of and stepped up?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a lot of people who stepped up. [In] this environment, you have to look at the positives. You can develop your character. Anyone can wrestle, but a few have really stepped up their characters. I\u2019ve seen Sonya [Deville] over on <\/span>SmackDown <\/span><\/i>really maximizing her opportunity to create that compelling character that she has. It has been excellent. On <\/span>Raw, <\/span><\/i>someone like an Apollo Crews. He has been putting in his effort in the gym and working on how to better verbalize himself in the ring. He kind of knows who he is now. He didn\u2019t lash out on social media and complain all the time. I keep telling people don\u2019t do that and bring that negativity. He kept himself positive and is killing it. I\u2019m very proud of him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is also a renewed app<\/a>reciation for the work of Randy Orton. How would you compare getting to work with him now to even January?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I never got the opportunity to get in a serious program with Randy. We\u2019ve always had our interactions, which have gotten a positive response. I have seen a difference in how motivated he is right now. He is naturally gifted and been around for so long and learned from the absolute best. Right now, he is a motivated Randy Orton. He is firing on all cylinders as a character and in the ring. This presents a very unique opportunity for me. This is what I\u2019ve been wanting. I\u2019ve been wanting a situation where I can show what I can truly do as a character beyond just in the ring. Randy Orton is Drew McIntyre\u2019s Joker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you say your match against him at SummerSlam <\/i>is your biggest challenge as champion?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s similar to a Brock Lesnar. Brock is of another kind, rarely loses. We had to build all the way up to <\/span>WrestleMania <\/span><\/i>and beat him in five minutes. It was incredible. Since then I\u2019ve been waiting for that challenger. One who can take me to that level. A few months ago Randy wasn\u2019t on that level. Now that he is \u201con,\u201d he is absolutely on the same level of a Brock. It\u2019s going to be a challenge, but I think it\u2019s going to be rewarding for me as a performer to face him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You clearly enjoy working with him. One spot in a previous match last year involved a back-and-forth chop contest that the audience ate up.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t planned. This was one of those interactions people latched onto involving us. They remember that moment because it was just a random point. Randy and I ended up in front of each other. He doesn\u2019t necessarily enjoy chops. We were talking a little trash to each other. You don\u2019t know how the other would react, but we had a nice interaction. It was cool to be able to think on our feet. I think he regretted encouraging me with the trash talk to chop him harder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WWE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There is all this internet talk of <\/b>SummerSlam <\/i><\/b>being on a boat or a beach. Is that something you would think that would make a difference? It certainly would be a festive atmosphere and plus being outside the WWE Performance Center for a change.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It would certainly be unique, which is what it\u2019s all\u00a0 about right now. We\u2019re trying to catch people\u2019s attention with something different. The environment at the Performance Center is what it is. But a boat would certainly catch my attention. I started getting all these crazy visions in my head. That would be cool if we can get The Lonely Island on a boat playing [their song] “I’m On A Boat.” I think we\u2019re on to something.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWhat can fans expect in the weeks to come on Raw<\/i>?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I think you\u2019re going to get an idea how this story is going to be moving forward. There is a lot of truth in there. I try to be as honest as I can from a character perspective. Drew McIntyre is just Drew Galloway with the volume turned up. I\u2019ve talked about how I wanted Randy Orton the last couple of months. He\u2019s my Joker….I think Randy is about to find out there is a method to my madness. Perhaps there is a reason I wanted to work with Randy Orton. Perhaps it goes deeper in the past when I was a young kid around Randy Orton when he wasn\u2019t the most pleasant person to be around. I\u2019m going to be as honest as I\u2019m allowed to be. I\u2019m WWE champion. I can pretty much say what I want, so I\u2019m going to say what I want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
