Drew McIntyre says there are “a lot of real feelings” between him and CM Punk but they are professionals

During an interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, Drew McIntyre commented on his ongoing feud with CM Punk in WWE and their real-life issues…

“I mean, if I had a chance to really think about it, initially, I was pretty annoyed (that CM Punk returned to WWE), but I understand business and I understand why it was done. But, I found it interesting that everybody started going, ‘Oh, it’s obviously going to be this, or obviously going to be this guy.’ I was sitting there thinking, there’s a lot of real history here, and a lot of real feelings I’ve got and if I get the opportunity, I know we could tell the most compelling story of all, because no matter my real feelings, I’m still a professional, you know? He’s still a professional, and we’ve been given the platform to show the world what we can truly do creatively. Our creative team, obviously led by Triple H is very much, you go out there and you take this creative as far as you can take it. You make people feel, you make people believe, and it’s not so hard to make people believe when you truly feel what’s good on-screen, inside and out.”

McIntyre also commented on his work outside of WWE…

“The whole team have been great. I work with Nick (LoPiccolo) directly from Paradigm (Talent Agency) and just hearing their plan, their strategies… What an intelligent approach they have for myself and our other WWE superstars that are represented going into the future. Presenting opportunities that are going to help the company we’re working with and WWE and the characters’ brand themselves. It’s a strategy where everybody becomes a winner. I’m excited to be part of it and it’s a situation like when I was at The Killer’s Game and I defer to the experts and listen to people that know more than me. I’m constantly listening to everybody around me and learning and it’s exciting. I’ve been, you know, in wrestling forever. I’m not leaving it. I’m in the prime of my career, but it’s also fun to, you know, have what’s going on (on) the side and being excited about that too.”
