Drew McIntyre who is the former two times WWE World Champion was using a sword as his entrance prop from the later part of last year. He named the sword Angela and in a very short amount of time this prop became quite famous. But recently he stopped using it without even any mention.
Drew McIntyre Reveals Why He Stopped Bringing His Sword
The sword mostly became famous during his rivalry with Jinder Mahal which took place before SummerSlam last year and the duo had a one on one match at the biggest event of the summer in 2021. Since then he used it regularly and it became a signature of the Scottish Psychopath.
But this prop got highly criticized by the fans and the critics as well, mostly because it had no use but showing off. Every wrestler that used a signature prop had some use of it, for example, the hammer of Triple H or the guitar of Jeff Jarrett, even Al Snow’s head had use. But the sword of Drew had no use whatsoever.
Drew McIntyre who is also a former two times WWE Tag Team Champion recently spoke to El Brunch de WWE where he talked about his sword Angela and revealed why he stopped bringing it. He also revealed that the sword was a tribute to his mother. He said;
“She’s always there, close by [McIntyre said about the sword]. Recently, I wanted to show Roman [Reigns] and show everybody I have the sword Angela by my side for a number of reasons. It was a tribute to my mother, it was an equalizer in a lot of cases.
“I wanted to remind everybody how capable and dangerous I am without a sword and by myself. With my bare hands, I’ve beaten Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania in five minutes, I’ve beaten Goldberg, I’ve beat Randy [Orton], I’ve beat A.J. [Styles], I’ve beat a who’s who of WWE superstars.
“I am a weapon without carrying around a weapon and I just wanted to remind everybody of that and she’ll still be there for my entrances for sure. I enjoy the pageantry and the spectacle of WWE. I love [that] the sword’s named after my mom, I love the theater of the cool warrior entrance but also, I love to remind people you should be scared of my fist more than the sword.”
