Drew McIntyre<\/a> is WWE Champion once again, and the first event he got to bask in this accomplishment was in his hometown of Glasgow. <\/p>\n

Last night\u2019s episode of SmackDown saw Drew McIntyre defeat Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell match to become WWE<\/a> Champion for a third time. In a beautiful twist of fate for McIntyre, WWE\u2019s next scheduled date was a live event in Glasgow, Scotland. <\/p>\n

What a moment for Drew McIntyre<\/p>\n

Drew McIntyre delivered an emotional speech<\/a> to the WWE Universe in Glasgow. Noting that he delivered his promise of bringing the title back to his home. <\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of you have been coming to the WWE Hydro shows for a few years now, yeah? You\u2019ve probably heard me repeatedly make you a promise that I\u2019m going to win the WWE Championship, and I\u2019m going to bring it back to Scotland. Well, the first time I won the WWE Championship, unfortunately, the world had to go shut down on us, didn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n

\u201cI won it twice. I\u2019m proud of what we did during that period. We gave people an escape during scary times, but I swore I would get the title back, and it has been years and years of disappointment. I\u2019ve been screwed over, but still believing in myself, because I\u2019ve got this weird condition that makes me mental. I\u2019m Scottish. <\/p>\n

\u201cLast night, you couldn\u2019t have written it any better. I won the WWE Championship and the very first place I was able to walk out in front of live fans as the number one wrestler on planet Earth was Glasgow, where I can fulfill my promise.\u201d<\/p>\n
