Drew McIntyre Didn't Realise WWE Clash At The Castle Singalong Was Meant To Air
Having a sing-song after losing the biggest match of your career is certainly... something.
Many fans watching at home or even live in the stadium were left a little baffled by how WWE Clash at the Castle finished last month. There, after being screwed out of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship by a debuting Solo Sikoa, Drew McIntyre reacted by... having a sing-song with Tyson Fury.
Given the hype, build and stakes around the Clash main event for the Scottish Warrior, it felt a little confusing to see him chirp up and sing American Pie and Wonderwall with the boxing icon. With recent reports unclear whether this moment was actually meant to feature in the aired version of the Premium Live Event - or whether, instead, it was merely for those in attendance at Cardiff's Principality Stadium - McIntyre has now revealed that he himself didn't realise the moment was being broadcast across the world.
Speaking to MySA.com (via Wrestling Inc.), the two-time WWE Champion explained:
"It was not a UK song and they were not digging, so I assumed we were off air, and I asked Tyson Fury to sing some Sweet Caroline and he said no."
McIntyre continued:
"I did not know we were still on air. I had just lost what was the biggest match of my life, but I have to at least try to give them a reason to smile right now. If it means I am not wallowing in misery like I should, so be it. And if they don't want to sing American Pie and want some Oasis, I will give them some Oasis."
Not only is Fury famous for his boxing skills, but the Gypsy King is also known for serenading the crowd with a song or two after some of his biggest fights. Still, seeing Drew commiserate a loss in the, as he put it, "biggest match of my life" by crooning was certainly a bold choice.
