WWE 2K24 - Wade Barrett vs. Drew McIntyre on Smackdown

[Applause] hey I'm trying to be unbiased here but I have to admit I'm rooting for Wade Cole I don't blame you I wouldn't want to bet against the creator of bad news the following contest is schedul for one fall making his way to the ring from England weighing in at 246 lb [Music] [Applause] weigh we are witnessing the return of the street tough bare knuckle brawler a man who can put you down with one bull Hammer focused and ready to brawl just like his time on the streets tonight's forec calls for a strong chance of a real hard-hitting bone breaking statement being made tonight [Applause] [Applause] and his opponent representing Absolution from Air Scotland weighing in at 254 lb the Scottish Warrior McIntyre McIntyre has summoned the WWE Universe to Aid him in battle along his passionate journey to fulfill his Destiny a top WWE [Applause] been a while but I'm really glad to see Wade Baron in the ring here tonight absolutely Michael and I have a feeling he's about to deliver some bad news tonight Wade really looks locked in and focused right now like he has a score to settle here yeah I've seen that look in his eyes before this is going to be one hell of a match and on the opposite side of the ring is a man who represents an entire culture of people every time he fights McIntyre uses the final moment moment before he ENT battle to clear his mind of all the noise and distractions and visualize a clear path to destroying his adversary oh man what a [Applause] boot just like that Barr gets pounced on oh and Wade manages to counter reversal after reversal proving they did their homework SK way up there early kick out referee right on top of the action maybe that was just to keep his opponent off balance way up and down hard that was one of those power bombs that would shorten someone's [Applause] career CL line in the corner Wade Barrett is an intelligent man but he's definitely someone who always believes he's the smartest person in the room which he's not so I'd try to outthink him in a match like this WOW a man who always thinks he's the smartest person in the room never worked alongside anyone like that Cory reversal can he take advantage Big Time GL line good [Applause] grief just pounding away right to the face my God quick thinking pays off another reversal eye for an eye here way Barett looks set to end this welcome to to Wasteland two now a kick out for Dre McIntyre he really thought that was it able to capitalize on McIntyre's mistake he is looking to do some serious harm McIntyre is getting dismantled yeah Barrett is proving hard to keep up with reverses and looks to capitalize Wade side steps this is a flat out vicious attack blows to the back of the neck and then smashing their face into the mat and McIntyre getting clobbered there yeah but you can't count anyone out yet this match could blast off right to the face there he goes right into the corner McIntyre finally finding an answer to that Onslaught now's a chance for McIntyre to get back into this match the defensive elbow to the gut ends [Applause] that in full control here face full a turnbuckle and now bar is all gears in motion Drew's power currently being suppressed there's actually no regard for your opponent's safety when you toss them to the outside like that Barrett to the top Barrett messing with him clearly trying to watch out good Lord taking flight coming down on their opponent like a sack of [Applause] bricks what a [Applause] mess o and M Tire on the receiving end again W's getting that Unstoppable look in his eyes oh look at this I don't want to be part of these problems don't want to be part of this [Applause] crowd action needs to return to the ring and fast [Applause] makes him pay with a counter getting cled by the ax handle Barrett messing with him clearly trying to force an error attacking the knee Drew McIntyre is not looking so good here yeah this is not good you don't saon and Barrett is full here Drew doesn't usually opponents to gain this much confidence he steps foot in the ring again he's heading to the floor but he can't take his time great count Drew showing how much punishment he can withstand before paying it back himself Drew weathered the storm and wants to create some of his own Thunder Drew out oh my God you got to be kidding me everyone here in that was supposed to be it no one is more shocked right now than McIntyre he's looking completely lost as he finds his footing no straight to the really thought that was going to work but now we got a human being we have to scrape off the [Applause] floor and he'll leave the ring for this next stretch uhoh he finds a counter to Mcintyre there [Applause] he's getting back to the ring looks [Applause] like run out of ringside and back to the mat boom what a McIntyre's in Dire Straits he's got him in the crosshairs Wade Barrett hoists him up welcome to Wasteland this has clearly become a more drooling fight than anyone could have imagined Superstars came out here tonight to prove a point these two having an answer for everything good grief put in the corner now leaving himself open here McIntyre turns things around elbow throw saying not today oh it's a rather crudee facial reconstruction that's not very nice face gou oh [Applause] God tackles ruthless around he's turning the tables this could spell Doom for McIntyre knew what was coming there drag provides an escape's got this sealed off there not yet they just got the just tradar determination from the Scot not many men would kick out in that situation I thought it was over the WWE Universe thought it was over but you got to do a little more to finally finish this listen to this place well placed elil to break up the maneuver heads out of the ring but needs to be mindful of the referee's count here Deni with elbow oh colliding with a barricade both Superstars showing great awareness of their opponent's repertoire comes down across the head with the ax handle he may not be aware of the to get back in and he's taking this to the outside now quick return to the ring up to the top rope now look out what Landing the onew punch of high risk High reward oh trying to find his bearings but it looks like his end is near he's going for it all what are you waiting for get back in there you tell up high whoa look out big time risk PS off the Daredevil in you comes out when you take risks like that and now McIntyre is being neutralized I don't think anything can stop Wade when he gets going like this look at this going counter for counter jumping neck breaker ouch ouch uhoh oh and that surprises way he's back into the [Applause] ring oh man a about to suffer some bad news McIntyre counters of power this has been an epic encounter these fans are sending the de level off the scale and an impactful display of off we just witnessed there he reverses it find the advantage after a string of counters for deliver that could end W's night cover no he beats the count I truly thought was all over there talk about resilience yeah but did you see how the referee had to get into position that was all the difference and where Ma goes from here as unknown Drew is ACC toting out so many with that maneuver White Noise McIntyre there once again proving just what it means to be the down is on and it's reverse P for that mistake big good grief this building is rocking right now his opponent's about to suffer some bad news because Here Comes thehammer Barett might take it here makes a cover he wins he wins now let's look back at that amazing action [Applause] here is your winner Wade bar and a win by Wade Barrett Barrett is going to remind us of this one for a long time that's right Saxton because Wade Barrett knows how to seize an opportunity [Applause]
