Drew McIntyre opens up on the interaction

‘The Scottish Warrior’ has been the Champion Ambassador for the event since last year. He also initiated the School of Strength program for athletes to work out and train at home. McIntyre recently surprised Special Olympics Tennessee athletes in Nashville.

During his visit, McIntyre said that he did not realize how inspired he was. He added that he was part of the SummerSlam media tour and cited his excitement at being involved with the Special Olympics:

“I knew I’d be inspired, but I didn’t realize the level that we’d get to and just how much I really want to do and how much I really want to be involved. I couldn’t have anticipated even close. Like when I heard today, technically I’m going to SummerSlam media tour – we’re got a big show in Nissan Stadium on July 30th. When I heard Special Olympics was involved today in person I got giddy for a second and was like ’˜oh that’s great’ I get to go along and that’s something that’s truly a joy in my life right now.”
