– Earlier today, Drew McIntyre shared a message on social media, looking back at his WWE release, which took place 10 years ago today. He wrote in the caption, “June 12, 2014: Brodus Clay, Evan Bourne, Teddy Long, Curt Hawkins and other WWE Superstars released. I didn’t even make the headline. 10 years later I am the headline. #WWECastle”
He also noted in a video with the message, “Brodus Clay, Evan Bourne, Teddy Long, Curt Hawkins and other WWE Superstars released. That was 10 years ago today. I am one of the ‘other,’ not even a picture here. 10 years ago, it was the best thing that ever happened to me because I ended up right back here in ICW. Found myself as a performer, found myself as a man, grew business outside of WWE, and 10 years later, main event at Clash at the Castle. Not bad for ‘other.'”
This weekend at WWE Clash at the Castle, Drew McIntyre challenges Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship. The event is slated for Saturday, June 15 at WWE Clash at the Castle: Scotland. The event will be broadcast live on Peacock. You can view McIntyre’s video below:
