Coming up, he's reigned over one of the most unique periods in WWE history.

And this week WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is here to talk about.

ATB starts now.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to After the Bell. I am still Cory Graves.

And it is finally here. We are days away. This coming Sunday streaming live on the WWE

network, it's SummerSlam. You'll never see it coming. It felt like we'd never get to this

point, but it's finally here and it is stacked top to bottom. I'm sure by now you know most of

the big matches and attractions awaiting you this Sunday. So let's not waste any more time.

He is the star of Monday Night Raw. He is the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre.

Mr McIntyre, we are several days away from the biggest party of the SummerSlam where you

will defend your WWE Championship against Randy Orton. So first things first, how you feeling?

Superdegas. Zero last time you were on ATB was just before the Royal Rumble where you're

truly picked you to win the Royal Rumble match and it happened. And I think if I could

roll it up, yes, I followed up with predicting that you would defeat Brock Lesnar, which you did.

I think I would be remiss if I didn't wish you luck and predict you to escape SummerSlam

still WWE Champion. I appreciate that. I know that you've said it. It's obviously going to happen,

but kind of out, but reflect on since the last time we spoke, a few things have changed.

There's the understatement of the year.

Yeah.

Like last time we spoke 40,000 screaming people when I won the Royal Rumble, we just kept

going up and up and up, taking out Brock all the way to WrestleMania, then boom,

pandemic. Four months later, here we are. What a crazy half year.
