If you watched AEW Dynamite this week, you might have caught a moment midway through the show when commentator Jim Ross accidentally referred to AEW World Champion Kenny Omega as the WWE Champion before segueing into a pre-taped segment. Fans had their fun with the slip-up, making jokes about how "The Cleaner" was breaking down another forbidden door and collecting another championship.
The clip eventually made its way to the actual WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre. His response did not disappoint.

McIntyre is currently gearing up for a title defense inside the Elimination Chamber, taking on AJ Styles, Kofi Kingston, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton and Sheamus at this Sunday's pay-per-view. Sheamus pinned his former best friend to win a gauntlet match on this week's Raw, meaning he'll be the last to enter the match.
While McIntyre doesn't usually comment about what the competition is doing, he did speak up last month in regards to The Undertaker's controversial comments about the current WWE product being "soft."
"I don't agree whatsoever. Especially from an in-ring perspective," McIntyre told Sportskeeda. "I've listened to part of it [the podcast], I've got to listen to the whole thing it's pretty new. But I think he may have been referring to like the kind of storylines and characters etc. Like the co-host that was on the show was like a fan from the Attitude Era and I think they were perhaps referring to some of the outlandish storylines."
"Back in the day, there were more sexual-based [angles], more like risque 18 plus. Our current product is PG, there's only so far we can push it and we're willing to push it. There's certain things from back in the day that was awesome and certain things that were not awesome that I wouldn't wanna go back to," he continued "So I'm not sure if it was more from like that perspective when it comes to the stories and not being as adult-based as it used to be but I think you know we're walking a good line right now. But when it comes to the in-ring game, that's just not true at all. It's never been more physical."
