Drew McIntyre reveals real reason for joining WarGames team at WWE Survivor Series

Drew McIntyre has opened up in detail about his decision to join the WarGames team at WWE Survivor Series 2025.

In less than two days, fans are set to witness WWE Survivor Series: WarGames take place at Petco Park in San Diego, California. Two of the four matches confirmed for the show are the men’s and women’s WarGames matches. In a social media update, Drew McIntyre revealed the real reason he chose to join the men’s WarGames team alongside Brock Lesnar, The Vision, and Logan Paul.

“I’m thankful that I get to acknowledge Roman Reigns with my boot in his face,” McIntyre said. “Thankful I get to beat on those stupid twins that have been like hyenas in my life for the past few years, and thankful that Cody will have nowhere to run. No referees he can pressure to screw me out of the title. No politics or machine that can protect him, that can suspend me, Aldis and Pearce. There’s nothing he can do, he’s literally in a Cage, I’m gonna beat him up, that’s gonna be fun.”

He further added, “You know what the cherry is, the cherry on top? CM Punk. I get to take him to hell once again. It actually feels like Christmas over Thanksgiving.”

The Scottish Warrior further explained that he would rather be on the same team as Brock Lesnar than against it. “Heyman, I sent him and Brock out of WWE at one point. Brock, I’d rather be on the same team with than against, and Heyman; he got me back in. He figured out the loophole, that’s what he does, and the thing about a dishonest man is you can always trust them to be dishonest, it’s the so called honest ones, the ones you fall for all their BS, you’ve got to watch out for.”

The former WWE Champion carries long-standing animosity toward every member of the opposing WarGames team, and it will be interesting to see how things unfold on November 29, 2025.
