Drew McIntyre: Taking The WWE Universal Title From Roman Reigns Would Be The Biggest Moment Of My Career

Is McIntyre vs. Reigns inevitable?

Drew McIntyre has enjoyed some big moments in his WWE career so far. The Scottish Warrior has won the Royal Rumble, he main evented WrestleMania 36 to become the first British-born WWE Champion and he later defeated Randy Orton to begin his second reign with the world title.

Despite these accomplishments, McIntyre believes defeating Roman Reigns for the Universal Title would eclipse those moments to become the biggest moment of his career.

Speaking on Talking Smack about what winning the Universal Championship would mean to him, McIntyre stated: "It would mean a lot to me. You know it's interesting, Roman and I have quite the history since I've returned to WWE and perhaps the roles are a little bit reversed. I've been watching what Roman's been doing over this past year and I might not like how he does things a lot of the time but he is operating at a different level. He always talks about these levels, and right now he is at the absolute top. 

"To be honest, not just the top of SmackDown, but the top of this industry. I want Roman. I want that match. I tangled with him last year. He needed a bit of help to get that victory, but I know I can take him down. As much as winning those two WWE Championships meant to me, where Roman's at right now, taking him down, taking the Universal Championship would be the biggest moment of Drew McIntyre's career."

Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns previously went one on one at the 2020 edition of Survivor Series. The two men have been largely kept apart outside of that match, but McIntyre was drafted to SmackDown on Friday.
