Drew McIntyre's SmackDown Promo: A Scripted Statement on February 6

Drew McIntyre's promo on the February 6 episode of SmackDown was scripted by Cristian Scovell, as reported by Fightful Select. The segment followed McIntyre being attacked by Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu earlier in the evening.

During the promo, McIntyre addressed CM Punk and Roman Reigns. He criticized Punk and Reigns, attributing insecurity, obsession, and disrespect toward the SmackDown roster to them.

McIntyre presented himself as a central figure for the SmackDown brand. He defended the Undisputed WWE Championship as a significant title, and noted his role in the company during the pandemic.

He also commented on Roman Reigns' decision to face Punk at WrestleMania 42, characterizing Punk as fragile and himself as a dominant champion without external support.

The disclosure of Scovell as the writer indicates the promo was a deliberate statement aimed at strengthening McIntyre's position on SmackDown as WrestleMania season approaches.
