The last 12 months for WWE star Drew McIntyre have been brutal and that may be an understatement.McIntyre had a brutal blood feud with CM Punk and launched into another rivalry with Damian Priest that led to him getting glass in his eye before WrestleMania 41. He won that match, and the two settled the score in a steel cage at the last "Saturday Nights Main Event" show in May.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe match with Priest was the last anyone saw of McIntyre before he returned on "Friday Night SmackDown" last week. He took aim at Randy Orton and received an RKO when "The Legend Killer" felt he crossed the line. It will come to a head when McIntyre is back in action to face off against Orton at "Saturday Nights Main Event" this weekend.McIntyre said when he pops his shirt off at the premium live event, fans will "see all the work thats gone into the physique and the movement thats gone on in the gym.""I honestly feel better than I felt in about, minimum, six or seven years. During this time off, Ive had a chance to step back and look at everything from an outside perspective the product itself and more specifically me because Im only competing against myself as far as Im concerned," he told Fox News Digital in a recent interview."And Ive realized, wow, OK, Ive got some areas I really need to improve upon even though, from a fans perspective they might say, Well, look at your 2024 going into 2025 on the microphone, in the ring, physique-wise compared to everybody else. I said no, no, no. I might look good compared to everybody else but I was not giving it Id say I was giving it 65%."McIntyre said he used to gloat to fitness magazines about how he was able to eat anything he wanted and maintained his incredible physique and stay in shape in the ring.WWE PARTNERS WITH MAYBELLINE NEW YORK AHEAD OF HISTORIC PREMIUM LIVE EVENTHowever, during his time away from the ring, McIntyre came to realize that he needed to cut all of that out if he wanted to return to the top of the WWE mountain."For the first time in my life, Ive brought in somebody to start the diet the right way. Ive brought in somebody to kick my a-- in the gym. I brought somebody in to start doing rehab at the gym, stretching things Ive never done in my life and its unbelievable what its opened in my body and feel exactly the way I did probably like before I won the Royal Rumble in 2020. The way Im moving about now, in general, I feel unbelievable," he said.McIntyre vowed he will be showing the world what hes capable of in the next run."Im a little angry with myself that I didnt see it when I was in the system, but it really takes just taking a step back, outside of your routine, look at everything objectively and saying, Where can I improve? When I looked in that mirror, I was like youre not giving it your all, your diet is abysmal, youre staying up to six some nights when you dont need to be youre not getting that sleep. Give it your all and then when you leave, you know you left no stone unturned."And the fact that Im not, I dont even feel in the top three right now, never mind the top 10. If Im not No. 1, then Im quite frankly p---d off and its on me and it all changes this Saturday."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
