Drew McIntyre has been wrestling for almost two decades and he spent a good amount of time in the independent circuit at the start of his career and after getting his release from WWE in 2014 as well.
However, despite this, he has never faced AJ Styles in a one on one match and during his recent interview with Vicente Beltrán of ViBe & Wrestling, the WWE Champion talked about possibly defending his title against the Phenomenal One.
McIntyre was asked who he would like to face for the title. Answering the question, he said that he would like other possible challengers like Jinder Mahal to build themselves first and then talked about possibly facing the former World Champion:
“Somebody that’s not there right now, hopefully he can dig himself out from the ground, but AJ Styles is somebody that’s certainly up there. He’s a performer that, you know, he’s one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time.
When I first started training when I was 15 and he was, like, on top of the independent world, I used to study his tapes like crazy.” recalled Drew. “I was like, ‘Man, I’m going to be like AJ Styles,’ and then I kept getting taller and kept getting bigger and I was like, ‘Okay, I’m not going to be like AJ Styles, but he’s really cool to watch.'”
The interview was recorded before this week’s episode of Raw which saw AJ Styles making his return to WWE programming and winning the last chance gauntlet match.
Styles now has the opportunity to win the Money In The Bank this Sunday. Winning the briefcase would guarantee him a world title opportunity, hopefully against the current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.
