Goodnight sweet prince.

Drew McIntyre kills the damn spider
WWE

Drew McIntyre brutally murdered Erick Rowan's pet spider on last night's episode of WWE Raw.

Showing his true 'Scottish Psychopath' colours, the cold, callous McIntyre ended the defenceless creature's life while wrestling Rowan in Raw's second hour. Erick had left in cage containing his beloved pet at ringside. McIntyre picked it up, put it on the ground, the squashed it with the ring steps, crushing the spider.

Heartfelt tributes have poured in from all corners of the internet:-

The spider's light burned briefly but brightly in WWE. Months and months of teasing finally came to a head last week, when Erick, that proud arachnid father, finally unveiled his little treasure to the world, spooking No Way Jose's entire posse out in the process. It looked like the spider was set for a long, prosperous glow up by his father's side, though McIntyre's cruelty means he'll never have the chance to embark on the kind of run he deserved.

Goodnight, sweet spider prince. You will be sorely missed.

We here at WhatCulture.com would like to express our deepest thoughts, condolences, and respects to the spider's friends, family, and Erick Rowan at this difficult time. Let's hope the killer is brought to justice.
