‘What happened to you?’ – WWE star Drew McIntyre trolls Man Utd icon Wayne Rooney in front of 16,000 fans in a live wrestling show

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Wayne Rooney was trolled by WWE superstar Drew McIntyre during a surprise appearance in a live wrestling show in London.

Rooney’s glittering 19-year career came to an end in 2021 when he retired with five Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a Champions League trophy and a Europa League honour under his belt.

United’s record scorer then pursued a managerial career and had short stints at Derby, DC United and Birmingham, who sacked him in January after a disastrous three-month spell.

The 38-year-old tactician is now a free agent and enjoying some time off with his family.

The great striker used his spare time to host a non-televised house event at The O2 Arena on Friday when WWE traveled to the UK as part of their European tour.

Before his battle against Jey Uso, Scottish icon McIntyre, who wrestles as a heel, which is wrestling jargon meaning a terrible person, saw him sitting in the front row with his two boys.

In front of 16,000 spectators, the three-time world champion initially praised Rooney on his amazing football accomplishments.

But then the Rangers fan proceeded to trash talk his fellow Brit by pointing out that they’re the same age but somehow he looks much better than the Everton hero.

McIntyre said: “Speaking of British legends… Is that Wayne Rooney?

“I’ve got to give this man his props, from one British legend to another, you were the freaking man in your day.

“But, aren’t we the same age? What the hell happened to you?!”

Rooney is an avid professional wrestling fan and has had some previous brushings with WWE superstars.

Back in 2015, the England great was confronted by fellow Brit Wade Barrett during an episode of RAW in Manchester.

Preston fan Barrett mocked him as he sat in the front row and that led to the United favourite slapping him across the face.

An angle between Rooney and McIntyre is highly unlikely as The Scottish Warrior is now after the World Heavyweight Championship.

At WrestleMania 40, McIntyre broke Seth Rollins’ 316-day reign and fulfilled his dream of winning a world title at the Showcase of the Immortals in front of an audience.

However, The Best in the World launched a violent attack on CM Punk, who was seated at the commentary desk, after the former WWE Champion continued to make fun of him.

Because McIntyre was now exposed, Damian Priest used his Money in the Bank briefcase to win the title of new champion.
