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.
