WWE's Drew McIntyre: "The UK Wrestling Scene Is On Fire Right Now"

Only two months after their first UK tour since before the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE have travelled across the pond once again for a series of house shows from November 3 until November 10. 

Drew McIntyre spoke to Telegraph & Argus ahead of the house show in Leeds on Monday, November 8 and the former WWE Champion believes the UK professional wrestling scene "is on fire right now" with NXT UK at the top of the industry. 

"The UK wrestling scene is on fire right now. NXT UK is at the top of the pile. All of our roster couldn't wait to get back to the UK. The crowds are like the ones at a football match. They have their own chants and signs. It feels great to be back in the UK. I make sure I have some downtime during the UK tour to see my family. I have been to Leeds a few times with WWE. The UK crowds are some of the loudest fans. Becoming the first British-born WWE champion was one of the proudest moments of my life, not just my career. It was always a goal of mine when I first came to America," McIntyre said.

Outside of NXT UK, WWE have partnerships with British promotions ICW and PROGRESS Wrestling.
