– We go right to the ring and out comes Drew McIntyre to a pop. McIntyre stops on the stage and raises his sword in the air as the pyro goes off. Drew takes the mic and comments on how he might not get to kick off RAW too much more. He hypes WWE Crown Jewel and his match with WWE Champion Big E, noting that everyone will talk about the match because this is where he will once again become WWE Champion.

Drew says he’s waited months for this match, this is his last chance at the title before going to SmackDown and he sure as hell won’t let it slip through his fingers. Drew goes to recall a story from earlier today but the music interrupts and out comes Big E to a big pop.

Big E takes the mic and says he gets it, he understands why Drew wants to be WWE Champion so badly. He goes on and says Drew is so accomplished, but he will never take this title from Big E. He says Drew has two options as the train has already left the station – you can jump onboard or your big sword wielding ass can stay on those tracks and get run smooth over. Drew fires back and says Big E is on cloud 9 as he should be, but he is still chasing his moment. He goes on and says he is going to run through Big E to win back the title and there’s not a damn thing Big E can do about it.
