Drew McIntyre having a sword makes a lot more sense when you remember its intentions.
For a while, Drew McIntyre has had a sword that he carries with him everywhere and while it was originally just another part of his Scottish Warrior gimmick, it was explained that Drew had named the sword Angela, after his mother.
While speaking in a WWE UK video with Welsh musician Tara Bandito, Drew McIntyre talked about his “Kneel to the Steel” catchphrase. McIntyre revealed that McMahon wanted the sword to be named Angela.
“It was actually my boss, Mr. McMahon, Vince McMahon’s idea. We were trying to think of a name for the sword and I was thinking Bonnie, like Bloody Bonnie or something, like The Widowmaker… something ridiculous, something proper wrestling-like. He was like, ‘What’s your mother’s name?’ I went, ‘Angela.’ He went, ‘Would you like that?’ I went, ‘I would love that.’”

You have to admire Vince’s willingness to pay tribute to Drew McIntyre’s mother, although it makes the booking regarding the sword seem a little over the top.
