Drew McIntyre just took a brutal verbal swing at John Cenaand made it crystal clear he wants nothing to do with the current version of the WWE icon.
During a new interview with Sports Illustrated, which dropped July 10, 2025, McIntyre was asked about Cenas retirement talk and the possibility of a dream match before the 16-time world champion hangs it up. But instead of issuing a respectful challenge, McIntyre unloaded years of frustration and accused Cena of dodging him.
McIntyre even admitted that while he admired Cenas mic skills during the infamous feud with CM Punk, he doesnt think the current Cena is worth chasing anymore.
He didnt stop there. McIntyre made it clear hes focused on the presentand the future.
That might sting for longtime fans who still want that marquee John Cena farewell match, but for McIntyre, theres only one man on his radarand its the Undisputed WWE Champion.
Drew McIntyre is no stranger to throwing verbal haymakers, but calling out Cena for ducking him adds serious heat to a feud that never even happened. If Cena does make one last run, this might be the spark that brings him face-to-face with a very bitter Scottish Warrior.
