Drew McIntyre had a tremendous 2020 as he won the WWE Championship twice. He successfully defended his title against AJ Styles and The Miz at WWE TLC.
Before all this success, he used to be a member of the 3MB faction back in 2014.
McIntyre recently spoke to Steve Austin on Broken Skull Sessions, where he talked about his run as a member of 3MB. He revealed that 3MB was actually an idea that Vince McMahon came up with.
He added that the idea was “dead on arrival”.
“It (3MB) was dead on arrival. Vince (McMahon) had the idea for it, he was going to give Heath (Slater) a group cause he was putting over all the legends and started suggesting guys who would make sense. You know, the personality that would fit in, so everyone’s like maybe a Fandango – he’s got a quirky personality – Ambrose is quirky as hell. These are guys that maybe would fit in with Heath there. Vince was like, ‘no, no – Jinder and Drew.’ But, they’re so serious, ‘(Vince) exactly, I want to see a different side of their personality, see what they’ve got.’ He wanted to bring something out of us so he put us… with Heath and Jinder they told in the backstage area, like in a hallway or something this was the plan, they were fine with it. From what I gather, they drew straws who was gonna tell Drew, walked me to the stands way up high, just in case I kicked off and beat someone’s a*s and sat me down and explained it to me,” said McIntyre.
We will have to see who is McIntyre’s next challenger.
