WWE star takes potshot at Spurs as special belts of football clubs are released

talksport.com, 14 March 2025, 18:22
Tottenham Hotspur's ongoing trophy drought was brutally highlighted by WWE superstar Drew McIntyre.

The north London club have regularly been the butt of jokes surrounding their failure to land a major trophy for the first time since 2008.

Ange Postecoglou's men have one final shot at finally silencing their detractors after booking their place in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday night following a second leg win over AZ Alkmaar.

But for now, they remain an easy target for rival fans as their wait for silverware rumbles on.

Bizarrely, their most recent criticism has come from three-time WWE world champion McIntyre, who himself is an avid football fan.

The Scot has often displayed his affection for boyhood club Rangers and it appears the England vs Scotland rivalry is alive and well.

Pochettino leaves door open for Tottenham return and refuses to answer Man United question

Tottenham coaches wanted Thomas Tuchel as manager before Ange Postecoglou was hired

On Friday, WWE announced that it had released exclusive legacy title belts - priced at £425 - featuring the branding and colours of 13 European football clubs.

The featured teams included Manchester United, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Chelsea, West Ham and Old Firm duo Rangers and Celtic.

Also included were European giants AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

But it was the inclusion of Tottenham that handed McIntyre too good of an opportunity to miss.

The 39-year-old knows all too well the importance of being an opportunist after claiming the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2024.

McIntyre brutally shared WWE's post on X with the caption: "That's the only title Tottenham have seen in years."

Whilst not technically wrong, the wrestler sparked a huge debate in his comments section with fans either praising him or hitting the star back with some banter of their own.

Ironically, Tottenham could face Rangers in the Europa League final in May to break their trophy hoodoo.

The club's have already met in this season's league phase which saw Dejan Kulusevski score late on to earn the Premier League side a 1-1 draw at Ibrox.

With both clubs on opposite ends of the draw, a second meeting can only happen if both sides make it to the final in Bilbao.

Rangers saw off Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce in a tense penalty shootout on Thursday and will face Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-finals.

Last year, McIntyre was given the prestigious honour of being inducted into the Scottish Wrestling of Hall of Fame by Glasgow's Lord Provost, becoming the first active wrestler to do so.

He was handed the honour prior to WWE's Clash of the Castle premium live event which took place at Glasgow's OVO Hydro in June.

"It's pretty surreal to be the only active wrestler to be inducted into the Scottish Wrestling Hall of Fame," McIntyre said.

"But it's even more surreal that it happened in Ibrox and, even more so, on the weekend where I'm wrestling Scotland's first ever PLE for the World Championship. It's all my passions as a kid coming together as one."
