Drew McIntyre isn’t holding back ahead of WrestleMania 42—and this time, he’s using sarcasm to make his point loud and clear.
On April 14, 2026, McIntyre took to Twitter with a new “PSA” directed at fans who will be around WWE talent throughout WrestleMania week in Las Vegas. Instead of repeating a straightforward warning like last year, McIntyre switched up his tone entirely, delivering a sarcastic breakdown of behavior that wrestlers deal with during one of the busiest weeks on the calendar. He started by setting the tone, making it clear right away that this message was going to be different from anything he’d said before.
“It’s Mania week. A lot of you listened to my PSA last year, and a lot didn’t, so I thought I’d try a different approach this year. I know a lot of you would prefer this one.”
From there, McIntyre targeted one of the most common issues wrestlers face during WrestleMania week—fans interrupting them during private moments just to grab a quick photo or interaction.
“Do interrupt us when we’re having a conversation with friends and family—no one’s more important than you getting that selfie in that little moment of downtime we get. Do shove a camera in our face without asking—you don’t need our consent, no, no, no—especially while we’re visibly rushing to an Uber or food. But we love looking like ass in front of the camera, so do that.”
He then shifted focus to fans who camp out at hotels and airports, locations where wrestlers are constantly approached despite those spaces being their only chance to rest during a packed schedule.
“Do wait at the hotel or the airport first—nothing gives us more joy than seeing the same people every day in the same spot. Yeah, the hotel’s our home for the week at WrestleMania, but hey, mi casa su casa.”
McIntyre didn’t hold back when addressing personal space either, sarcastically calling out how some fans crowd wrestlers during appearances and interactions.
“Don’t wear deodorant—just walk around stinking and smelly! That way you can leave a lingering smell all over our clothes when you invade our personal space during appearances. Forget deodorant—who needs it?”
Another issue he raised was the overwhelming number of items some fans bring for autographs, especially during limited meet-and-greet windows where time is already tight.
“Do shove a hundred things under our nose—we’ll sign all of them. You know those few minutes we have, we’ll give it to you. Make sure you have those empty Funkos so we can sign the dozen of all those many kids you claim you have.”
He also addressed boundaries in how fans interact with wrestlers personally, especially when it comes to using real names or acting overly familiar.
“Don’t call us by our wrestler names—no, call us by our government names as well. Make sure you call the girls by their names—it’s not weird or creepy at all because you watch us on TV.”
McIntyre then took aim at parasocial behavior, referencing fans who believe they have a personal relationship with talent through online interactions. Finally, to make sure the sarcasm didn’t get lost on anyone, McIntyre closed with a line that made the intent of the entire message crystal clear.
“Those ones who believe they know us by sending gift cards to us and believe they have a personal relationship with us online—yeah, you guys are the best and smartest. Definitely come over and say hello. Please take me quite literally.”
The video may be loaded with sarcasm, but the message behind it is serious—McIntyre is calling for boundaries and respect during WrestleMania week, when WWE talent are constantly on the move and dealing with nonstop fan interaction.
