It was three years ago in NXT.
That it was Drew McIntyre versus
Andrade at an NXT Takeover Event.
It was during that match that
Andrade injured Drew McIntyre.
McIntyre tore his left bicep and
lost the NXT championship that night.
It cost Drew McIntyre the title and
then six months of his career.
This is personal, but Vega and
Andrade believe they know
what to do against McIntyre.
>> Right now they better re
collaborate with a different plan.
>> And now look at McIntyre relentless,
continuous to move
forward against Andrade.
>> MacIntyre showed us earlier he's had
that scar from that torn bicep all these
years as a reminder of
what Andrade did to him.
>> Look out here.
>> McIntyre caught him in the corner.
McIntyre doesn't forgive and
he doesn't forget
>> And he said earlier,
he's gonna hurt this man tonight.
>> Yeah yeah he's okay he will be you.
>> Look out and Garza and
theory checking in on Andrade.
And Andrade ribs first into
the top of the barricade.
Remember, Drew McIntyre is the first
superstar to win the WWE title in
the main event of WrestleMania and
then successfully defend
the championship just minutes later.
McIntyre, Brock Lesnar and
the Big Show in the same night.
>> Let's go, back it off.
[CROSSTALK]
>> You know the rules.
>> Crazy McIntyre and the distraction
from Garza [CROSSTALK] Vega loves it.
Now Andrade can pounce
going after the left arm.
>> You have to agree that was all
part of the game plan of Andrade.
[NOISE]
>> Aah!
>> And
look at what Andrade is going after.
>> Ask him ref come on!
>> That right arm where
the bicep was torn.
>> Aah!
>> The left arm in fact and now Andrade
hung up on the ropes give McIntyre
a chance to gap himself with the left arm.
Gotta wonder if,
>> The left arm is permanently aggravated
and now, [NOISE]
>> My god!
>> One, two, three
>> Extending the arm!
>> Can you imagine?
If he damages that bicep again?
>> I've talked to so
many superstars who've had a bicep injury,
they said the muscle feels like it rolls
up your arm, can that be accurate?
>> It's very accurate.
>> I'll never forget I was about
to wrestle Jolla Duke one night in
Louisville, Kentucky.
Right before we went out to the ring he
just grabbed the top of grab the bar just
do one last pull up and
I heard it sound like a gunshot.
>> Man, freaking out which down goes
is Andrade, Vega shocked by that one.
McIntyre had got one good arm and
he's using it to his advantage.
>> Boot right to the face.
>> Yeah, I don't know, guys,
if a repaired bicep is ever the same,
if it's ever as strong as it once was.
>> McIntyre going up to the top.
>> Look at me.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Man, and.
>> Wow!
>> Takes out Andrade and
a kip up by the 265 pounder.
>> Get up!
>> McIntyre setting the tone for
his championship reign,
thought about the future shock DDT and
a back elbow by Andrade.
That has knocked out opponents
in the past Champ come on!
>> Andrade is so fearless.
>> Champ watch out from outside.
>> Yeah,
yep that's what I was worried about.
>> Theory grabbing at McIntyre!
>> Andrade takes out Theory and Garza.
>> That serves them right.
>> Come on, get up, guys, come on.
>> Who grabbed my foot?
[LAUGH] Was it you?
>> Not bro.
>> My God!
[LAUGH]
>> Come back in here.
>> What?
And now tossing Andrade
back inside the ring.
>> Theory won't be
grabbing his foot again.
>> As I said McIntyre doesn't forgive,
he doesn't forget.
Going up to the top turnbuckle.
>> Wait a minute.
>> And now.
>> Look out watch it.
>> Vega with a distraction helps
out the United States Champion.
>> It is not bad enough you've
gotta deal with Austin Theory and
Angel Garza now you've got
Zelina hopping on the apron.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
This is how the arm injury happened.
>> No.
>> How Andrade took the NXT title from
Drew McIntyre, went for
the Hammerlock DDT.
>> Whoa!
>> McIntyre able to counter.
>> McIntyre determined to not
let history repeat itself.
>> And now McIntyre,
out of the corner, for this.
>> Look out!
>> Alabama Slam!
Maybe you wanna close your eyes, Zelina.
[INAUDIBLE]
You see that same determination
in the eyes of McIntyre you that we
saw in WrestleMania against the Beast.
A Claymore and down goes Andrade.
[MUSIC]
Here's your winner,
the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre!
>> The WWE Champion is
operating on a different level.
