Drew McIntyre recently spoke with Tyler Conway of the Bleacher Report and named Cesaro as the WWE Superstar that he would like to see pushed into the next main event.
McIntyre agreed that Cesaro must have had a push for several years. He also talked about a possible confrontation with the SmackDown Superstar and Cesaro’s current rivalry with Seth Rollins.
“We are watching now. I think everyone and their dogs have said Cesaro [is due for a push] for about five years, and it’s true, ”said McIntyre. “The fact of the matter is that I was never in the ring and I had a game with him. I can only tell by looking at him. Usually, you can only tell how good someone is when you enter with them. If I go in with him, it would be a lot of fun.
“But to see him having the opportunity to work with someone as good as Seth – and Seth is incredible – I’m excited to see where they are going. If they give the right construction, present Cesaro in a way that highlights their strengths and get to that match, it would be nice to see Cesaro move to the next level and finally have a match with Drew McIntyre. “
He continued: “Whatever happens in the end, I am looking for that great moment with the fans”.
McIntyre also named the WWE Legends and Hall of Famers who would form his oversized pro wrestling Mount Rushmore – Ric Flair, The Undertaker, John Cena, Steve Austin, The Rock, Shawn Michaels and Triple H.
“Flair, Taker, Cena, Austin, Rock, Michaels, Hunter. I miss people and this is already too much. I don’t know… I’ll say I’m a foreigner, I’m not from here, I don’t know how many [presidents on Mount Rushmore] and I’ll be 10, ”McIntyre said, laughing.
McIntyre is set to challenge WWE champion Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 37 next year.
