Drew McIntyre might be a locker room leader in WWE, but he doesn’t force his opinion on others like some have before him.

WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre recently sat down with Mike Johnson of PWInsider. When asked if he considers himself to be a locker room leader in WWE, McIntyre said he thinks there are multiple leaders now and not just one specific person like it was in the past.

“I think there’s a few now more than one specific person,” Drew McIntyre admitted. “When the guys have been around for a long time when people go alright, that’s the leader there, but I was there when Taker was there; it was very clear, and I didn’t have to say a word. Like, that’s the man right there.

“Just the way he carried himself and Roman when he was full-time, he had that very similar, you know, just cool, very in control, and had wrestled, you know, at the top level for so long, even though I’d been around longer like that’s the guy right there. Now he had that same kind of Taker vibe, and now there’s a bunch of us.

Drew McIntyre describes himself as a quieter leader

“I’d say I’m a quieter leader. Like I don’t force my opinion. There’s a few guys I’ll go directly and say, ‘Hey, you need to do this, this, this,’ unless it’s genuinely terrible and hurting our show. I’ll 100% say something, but a lot of time they’ll come to me, and I’m there for anybody that wants my opinion.

“Somebody that you know, came up through the system, had to get fired to find themselves, has been part of the independent scene, has been part of the growth of social media, being part of the old ways and being part of the new ways. You know, I have some advice to give and you can take it or leave it because in the end, it’s going to be what works for you. I take advice all day long from everybody. And the thing I’ve learned is take what works for me and discard what doesn’t.”
