Drew McIntyre Continues To Ensure Fans That WWE SmackDown Match With Jacob Fatu Will Happen
Drew McIntyre insists that his match with Jacob Fatu will happen.
After weeks of turmoil, McIntyre and Fatu are set to go to war on Friday’s episode of SmackDown, as they’ll clash in a singles affair. This match was put into question earlier this week, as a report surfaced about Fatu dealing with non-wrestling related injury.
Taking to social media, Drew McIntyre talked about the match and continued to ensure fans that his match with Fatu will happen on SmackDown.
“I’m back in my home away from home recently. Looking through my head right now, but I guess it’s always the same result — no matter what happens to me, I don’t give up. Call it stubbornness, call it determination, I don’t care. The one thing you will call me is justified. The latest brick wall put in front of me is Jacob Fatu, one of the baddest guys on the roster. This match is going to happen tomorrow and I have to win. It didn’t have to happen, though. Jacob, you stepped up in my business a few weeks ago when I had nothing to do with you and then you dropped me with one damn calf. If that wasn’t bad enough, the following week, you ran your mouth. You’re no different than everyone else in a lot of ways. I mean, you’re a hypocrite. He literally said, ‘Drew, you run your mouth too much’ while running your mouth. I’ll give you your due, I see a lot of me in you. I mean, I flew all the way across the world to drop you because you pumped me out. I guarantee that if it was the other way around, you’d do exactly the same. I hate, hate your family and I’ve been in the ring with all of them. If you’re as bad as you say you are, you’re better than every one of them. At least that’s what I think you’re saying, you talk in mostly soundbites and catchphrases that I can barely follow. This match, it’s a guaranteed war. This is a match nobody should miss. It’s a match that I have to win. Tomorrow, Drew McIntyre derails the Jacob Fatu hype train by any means necessary.”
