During the WWE Clash at the Castle Kickoff, tensions ran high as World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre exchanged heated words. The Glasgow crowd firmly supporting McIntyre repeatedly interrupted Priest, telling him to “shut up” as he tried to respond to McIntyre’s accusations.
Michael Cole facilitated the discussion, reminding Priest of McIntyre’s comment calling him a transitional champion. Priest, who won his title by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, faced criticism from McIntyre, who claimed that Priest’s reign was less significant than his brief five-minute hold on the championship.
