Over 11,000 fans have sold out the OVO Hydro in Glasgow,
Scotland for today’s non-televised event as part of the Road
to Royal Rumble tour.
While it was sold out before last night’s Smackdown, it will
be a huge moment for the new WWE champion Drew McIntyre, who
returns home to headline the event, and a nice added bonus
for Scottish fans who had no idea this was going to happen.
“I said I was bringing the title home. Took a few years, but
I never lie,” McIntyre said as he walked out of the airport
with the WWE title on his shoulder. “I’m officially on
Scottish soil WWE champion. I’d say it’s surreal, but it’s
not. It was about time.”
McIntyre posted a photo wearing the Scottish football
national team jersey in bed holding the WWE title, writing,
“I prayed for this and it happened,” a take on what he told
CM Punk when he was injured at the Rumble. The official X
account of the Scottish team congratulated McIntyre on his
win and his choice of shirt.
The Scotsman also posted a screenshot of a few comments on
Instagram from fans about the title change, using the
incorrect words on popular phrases.
“He did the thinkable,” one person wrote, while the other
replied, “End of an error.” Another one posted, “Don’t smile
because it’s over cry because it happened.”
