Drew Mcintyre says John Cena “has been ducking me his entire career”

While speaking to SI.com, Drew McIntyre gave his thoughts on WWE Champion John Cena…

“I’ve never had a singles match with Cena. He’s been ducking me his entire career. Don’t know why. I’m sure he’d put a spin on it as he always does. The problem is I can spin things back verbally these days. Maybe that’s why he’s avoiding me. I don’t know. He tore CM Punk apart that one week on the microphone with a pipe bomb. I enjoyed it and I was like, ‘God, I’d love to come back at Cena on the microphone.’ But he’s not the same John Cena. He’s a little bitch these days. So, I don’t want John Cena. I want Cody Rhodes.”

McIntyre also discussed his time off from WWE…

“The good thing about this time off, no rehab, actual planned time off. Took a step back, watched the products, seen what I didn’t like, and I watched myself and I went, ‘Wow, I wasn’t giving it my all.’ And some people would say, ‘But Drew, you had this incredible 2024. you look better than 95% of the guys.’ I’ve never followed a diet in my life. I’ve never had a personal trainer been on my ass my entire life. I brought them in the past 5 weeks. When you see Drew McIntyre with shirt off for the first time at Saturday Night’s Main Event, you’re going to go, ‘Oh my god, how did this guy evolve even more than where he was at already.’ I legitimately was holding back in a lot of ways I didn’t realize. And I’m bringing an evolved Drew McIntyre because I’m not competing with Cody or Cena or Roman or anyone else. From now on, I’m competing with Drew McIntyre and nobody’s going to be able to keep up with me.”
