Drew McIntyre Talks WWE Title Win vs. Lesnar at WrestleMania, Tyson Fury, More

New WWE champion Drew McIntyre said his emotions after beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 were "exactly the same" as if there were a full crowd in attendance.

The company was forced to move the location of Mania in Florida, switching from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa to its Performance Center in Orlando, but McIntyre told TMZ Sports it didn't dull the moment: "I had that moment, the journey went through my head, all the sacrifices that I've made, my family's made, my wife's made. All in that moment as I was handed the title; then I remembered, 'Oh yeah, there's millions of people watching around the world.'"

McIntyre also said he "ain't scared" of a potential showdown with heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, who hinted at a potential WWE return in an Instagram post Monday.

The WWE champ said he's not going to shy away from any challengers for his title.

"Unlike Brock Lesnar, I'll be there every week. I'm gonna fight everyone on the roster," McIntyre told TMZ. "And if Fury wants to go, I'll fight him too. I'll fight any comers. I don't know, if an alien comes from another planet, I'll fight them too."

That's the biggest difference between Lesnar and a full-time member of the roster.

WWE has leaned heavily on Lesnar as a top champion in recent years despite his part-time status because he's a proven draw with mainstream appeal. Not having him on Raw every week generated criticism from hardcore members of the fanbase, though.

McIntyre, who faded from the spotlight during his first run with the company before returning in 2017, has proved in recent months that he deserved a shot to carry Raw.

A fighting champion who puts the title on the line more consistently should help viewership numbers for the company's flagship show Monday nights.

"I already etched my name in history as the first-ever British [WWE] champion, but I want to be one of the greatest champions of all time," McIntyre told ESPN's Tim Fiorvanti. "[I want] people to remember that when the chips were down in the world, Drew really stepped up for himself, WWE and the fans."

The 34-year-old Scotland native has always possessed the prototypical look of a WWE champion with his 6'5" frame, powerful build and high-end athleticism. And his improvement on the mic and in the ring earned him a place atop the card.

He already hit the ground running with a victory over Big Show to retain the title Monday night.
