Drew McIntyre has been involved in a feud with Damian Priest following WrestleMania 40. At the Grandest Stage of Them All, McIntyre became the World Heavyweight Champion. However, after a confrontation with CM Punk, Damian Priest came out with his Money in the Bank briefcase and cashed in on Drew to win the title.
Moving ahead, it was reported that Drew McIntyre had suffered an elbow injury and was not cleared to compete. With that, Damian Priest agreed to give McIntyre a shot at the title once he was ready to compete. Since then, Drew and Damian have been constantly taking shots at each other.
They can often be seen roasting each other on the microphone or taking shots via their social media handles. With that, recently, The Scottish Warrior took his ‘X’ handle to fire shots at The Judgement Day member. However, it seems AEW star Jack Swagger became a victim of McIntyre’s Twitter savagery.

Now you may think my abilities in this ring but I promise you, you don’t know Zack. From this point on everything that you think you may know SmackDown Live is a land of opportunity and I’m gonna be a big problem, man I’m gonna be a big problem.”
Not only that, The Scottish Warrior captioned the post as “Every Priest promo since becoming Champion and losing Rhea”. Thus, it can be understood that Jack Swagger got unnecessarily dragged into the feud between Damian and Drew.
