WWE Fans Can’t Stop Talking About Drew McIntyre’s War Paint and Sword Issues at Fastlane

Drew McIntyre had teased that the match against Sheamus at tonight’s Fastlane event would be a physical affair, and boy was he right. The match was a perfect showcase for both stars, but it was actually how it began that got a lot of reactions before the match got underway. McIntyre came out with his sword, but also with full war paint on his face, and that caused a lot of fans to take to social media to share their reactions. That also had to do with the entrance not going all the way according to plan.

As you can see in the video below, when McIntyre goes to stab the sword into the ground, it nearly bends in half, leaning to the right as the pyro goes off all around him. That and the additional Braveheart-esque war paint got fans talking, and you can check out some of the best responses on the next slide.

AWESOME

Seems a lot of fans are digging the war paint!

“Drew’s facepaint looks AWESOME. #WWEFastlane”

Green Paint

Others guessed Sheamus might come out in some face paint of his own, but thankfully that did not happen.

“If Sheamus comes out in green face paint I’m out of here.

#WWEFastlane”

That Expression

Others weren’t so sure about the war paint, and Steve Harvey’s expression was a perfect fit for the occasion.

“Drew with the #Braveheart gimmick… #WWEFastlane”

The 2000s

Others thought this was channeling the 2000s with the overt Braveheart theme.

“Did Drew McIntyre just channel Braveheart? Why, this isn’t 2000.. now Sheamus is gonna say WAZZZUPPPPP or make a hanging chads reference… #WWEFastlane”

Braveheart

If you’re going to go Braveheart, you might as well go all the way.

“Let’s Go Drew!!!!! 

#WWEFastlane”

Tighten It Up

McIntyre didn’t just come out with his war paint, but also his sword, but the sword placement leaned a lot this time around.

“Everytime Drew does that sword it just leans in more. Someone with a screwdriver needs to tighten that s***.
#WWEFastlane”

Bent In Half

McIntyre slammed the sword into the ground, so much so that it looked like it bent in half.

“Drew bent the sword 🙂
#WWEFastlane #WWE”

Breaking It

Others are just waiting to see the sword completely shatter one day.

“#WWEFastlane waiting for the day when drew accidentally brakes mr mcmahons sword Face with tears of joy”

Damn

He could’ve ended up breaking the sword with how hard it leaned into the ground, but thankfully it stayed intact.

“Drew damn near broke the sword! #WWEFastlane”
