Colby Covington wants ‘unsanctioned’ match with WWE star Drew McIntyre

Should Colby Covington make the move to pro wrestling, he’s targeting one of its biggest stars.

In April, Covington teased that a move to the WWE could take place as early as next year, vowing to “make wrestling real again” and bring his brand of showmanship to the wrestling company. Current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre caught wind of Covington’s comments and he welcomed “Chaos,” suggesting that they meet in an unsanctioned match.

“If he wants this unsanctioned fight outside of WWE, I’m willing to fight him in a bar or something,” McIntyre told ESPN.
