Drew McIntyre Discusses Using ‘Broken Dreams’ Again At WWE Clash At The Castle
At Clash At The Castle, we saw an old theme return during Drew McIntyre’s entrance.
Broken Dreams was originally McIntyre’s theme in his first run in the promotion. He used it once again at Clash At The Castle to a huge reaction from the crowd in Cardiff.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, McIntyre was asked about using the song, and he stated that he had been pushing for it for a long time. He explained that he talked to Triple H and Kevin Dunn about it before he praised WWE’s production team.
“I’ve been pushing it [for] a very long time. I didn’t think it finally bite, but I had a conversation with Hunter, I had a conversation with Kevin Dunn, and tried to explain, you know, like I think this is the time. The crowd we’re gonna have is a knowledgeable crowd, they know my history, it’s very much a full-circle moment for me, and I feel that’s very much part of my story, and I knew it would get the pop from the live crowd. I knew people online would get a kick out of it, but for me, hearing that, it would remind me of how far I’ve come. Our production team put together the best videos, Adam, Ben, and the gang in the studio, just the best work imaginable. I saw that and again, the goosebumps were going crazy, trying to hold the tears back. I was so laser-focused, I was like, what is going on here right now?”
“I feel like when it’s appropriate, its gonna pop up. It is a little slower, but some of the lyrics in there feel very appropriate to my journey and what I intend to do with Roman. He’s always been my Kryptonite, he’s always found a way around Drew McIntyre, be it back in the day when I first came back, he always had my number by himself. When I found my true self, he found his true self. Turns out his true self is listening to a bunch of yes men and letting his head get big. When he comes against a legitimate challenger like a Drew McIntyre or a Brock Lesnar, he throws everything and the kitchen sink or new family members at them so he can keep hold of those titles. But it can’t last forever,”

Time will tell when we will next see the return of McIntyre’s iconic theme but for now, it will return to the WWE vault.
