Drew McIntyre Shares Honest Opinion on Current AEW Product

Drew McIntyre has been making headlines recently for his antics at WWE’s Global Headquarters, but it’s his latest comments about AEW that have fans raising eyebrows.

During a TikTok Live session today, McIntyre opened up about his time away from WWE earlier this year and gave props to the wider wrestling world, including AEW.

“I’m happy to watch all wrestling, especially when I’m off,” McIntyre shared, reflecting on his three-month hiatus earlier this year. “You know, when I was out those three months, but one person called me the entire time I was out. That was a chance for me to catch up on everything and unpack. AEW, New Japan, the independents. I’m just happy to see so many people that I’m friends with, making a full-time living.”

McIntyre’s comments demostrate his respect for the wrestling industry as a whole, showcasing his appreciation for the opportunities AEW and other promotions provide for talent worldwide. While he didn’t go into specifics about AEW’s roster or matches, his words make it clear that he’s not just a WWE loyalist but a fan of the craft wherever it’s performed.

With AEW continuing to grow and WWE keeping a tight grip on its dominance, McIntyre’s acknowledgment of promotions outside WWE is refreshing. It shows that even at the top, the love of wrestling transcends company lines.
