“It’s Unfortunate It Will Never Happen”- Drew McIntyre Says He Wanted A WrestleMania Match Against Triple H

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has revealed that he never missed a chance to pitch the idea of having a WrestleMania match against Triple H. However, the idea was never approved. Now that the King of Kings has retired, Drew will never get an opportunity to have a match against the legend.

Triple H is reckoned by many as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. He is a former multi-time World Champion. He also worked as an Authority Figure on the main roster and played a major role in the rise of WWE’s tertiary brand – NXT. However, due to health issues, he has retired from in-ring competition now.

The last time fans saw Triple H wrestling a match was against Randy Orton during the Thunderdome Era. Triple H replaced Drew McIntyre in that segment because the latter had tested positive for COVID-19.

Speaking about the possibility of facing Triple H, McIntyre admitted that he was disappointed he never got a match against the King of Kings at WrestleMania.
