Drew McIntyre has looked back on one of the most infamous moments of his career. The former WWE Champion called the post-match segment from Clash at the Castle 2022 the "worst moment of his life."
The comments came during a recent interview with Cultaholic Wrestling. McIntyre reflected on the frustration of the entire experience.
McIntyre On Clash At The Castle 2022
The Clash at the Castle event in 2022 was WWE's first major stadium show in the United Kingdom in 30 years. McIntyre, a UK native, challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event.
Many fans expected McIntyre to win the title in his home country. However, he lost the match after the debuting Solo Sikoa interfered on behalf of Reigns.
Following the disappointing loss, McIntyre was joined in the ring by boxing legend Tyson Fury. The two then sang 'American Pie' to the deflated crowd in a moment that was widely criticized by fans online.

Alex BierensThe 'Worst Moment' Of His Life
McIntyre did not hold back his feelings on the segment. He expressed his disappointment with both the outcome of the match and the "stupid song" that followed.
"I was so happy getting Clash in Wales and getting the first stadium show since SummerSlam '92' and getting the main event," McIntyre said. "I wasn't happy getting s*rewed and the worst moment of my life singing that stupid song afterwards."
McIntyre Currently Sidelined With Injury
These comments come as McIntyre is currently away from WWE programming. He is recovering from an injury suffered in late May.
His last match was a loss to Damian Priest in a Steel Cage match at the Saturday Night's Main Event television special on May 24. It was reported after the show that McIntyre had been working through an injury for some time and was taking a necessary break to heal.
He is expected to miss an extended period. There is currently no timetable for his return to the ring. WWE will likely want to have him back in time for SummerSlam this August if they can swing it and he is willing to comeback for the two-night event.

Urgent Warning Issued Over Fake Labubu Dolls That Could Kill Young Children
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Monday issued an urgent consumer safety alert for look-alike Labubu plush dolls and key chain versions. Often called "Lafufus," some of these knockoffs are small enough to block a young child's airway and can break apart into choking-size pieces, and the CPSC urged consumers to stop buying or using them immediately. Why It Matters The CPSC says the fake Labubu plush figures and plush key chains are small enough that a young child could put one in their mouth and block their airway, creating a risk of choking and death. The agency also reported instances of the counterfeit toys breaking apart and releasing small pieces that could become ingestion or choking hazards.

CPSC investigators identified multiple shipments attempting U.S. entry from China and requested seizure of thousands of units for violating federal toy safety regulations. Product safety warning number: 25-438. How to Spot a Fake Labubu and Stay Safe The CPSC recommends the following checks to help distinguish authentic Pop Mart Labubu products from counterfeit versions: Look for a holographic Pop Mart sticker and a scannable QR code that links to Pop Mart's official site. Newer authentic editions may include a subtle UV stamp on one foot. Authentic dolls also have nine teeth, while fakes may show a different number or overly bright colors. Shoppers should also be wary of unusually deep discounts. For toys with small parts, check for choking hazard warnings and independent safety certification marks. The CPSC also noted that a similar warning was issued by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute in the United Kingdom. What People Are Saying CPSC Acting Chairman Peter A. Feldman said in a statement: "These fake Labubu dolls are dangerous, illegal, and have no place in American homes. No parent should have to wonder if a toy will stop their child from breathing. Protect your children and buy only from reputable sellers." Alex Beene, financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "Labubu dolls have certainly gained a huge following in recent months and are at the top of many children's wish lists. At the same time, it leads to concerns over fraud, as some look to take advantage of their popularity with fake items. In this situation, the fake dolls in question could pose a health hazard, as their smaller size make them easier to cause severe breathing difficulties if a child puts one in their mouths." What Happens Next The CPSC said it will continue "aggressive enforcement" at U.S. ports to block dangerous imports before they reach American families, and reiterated that federal law prohibits the importation and sale of consumer products that fail to meet CPSC safety standards. Consumers are asked to report incidents involving injury or product defects at the agency's portal or call the CPSC hotline. "It's pivotal parents pay attention to this situation to ensure their children don't find themselves in a scary situation," Beene said.

( More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match In that interview, Kross detailed a complete breakdown in negotiations. He claimed WWE gave him a low offer at the last minute with a 24-hour deadline, and then rescinded it when he asked for the data and analytics behind their valuation. Despite the messy exit, Kross maintained that he and Scarlett still hope to return to WWE one day. The Return Of "Killer Kross" This return to the independent circuit also marks the return of the "Killer Kross" persona. Before signing with WWE, Kross was one of the most talked-about stars on the indies under that name. The "Killer Kross" character was a more unhinged, violent, and cerebral hitman-for-hire than the more polished version seen in WWE. While this is his first in-ring date, Kross and Scarlett had previously announced a "Killer Smokeshow: Carnage Tour" of several convention appearances, which is set to begin this weekend. Fans will be eagerly watching to see what the unleashed "Killer Kross" has in store for the independent scene. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

'Fallout' Season 2 Teaser Trailer Gives First Look at Greatest Villain
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The wasteland is back, and Amazon Prime Video has dropped the first teaser trailer for "Fallout" season 2. The over two-minute-long trailer gives fans a look at The Ghoul, Lucy, and so much more. More news: 'Breaking Bad' Creator Vince Gilligan Drops Teaser for New Series While the ending of the first season saw the inclusion of New Vegas, it appears the location and one of the biggest villains from "Fallout" will take center stage in the new season. The trailer opens with The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) leading Lucy (Ella Purnell) through the wasteland, as she questions why her villainous father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), would travel to New Vegas. What is interesting is that the trailer then pivots to The Ghoul explaining how the world ended to Lucy, and showcases what could be a huge backstory of his life before the bombs dropped. The first poster for Fallout Season 2 The first poster for Fallout Season 2 Amazon Prime Video This is where the trailer then showcases the greatest villain from the popular video game series, Mr. House. He is sitting behind a ton of computer screens in what appears to be a penthouse location in New Vegas. It also appears that Mr. House and The Ghoul know one another well, as his human self, Cooper Howard, is dead set on protecting his family from the presumed war that caused the bombs to drop. There is plenty to explore in the trailer, along with one of the fiercest creatures also being showcased in the series for the first time, the Deathclaw. These giant, claw-bearing creatures are tough to deal with in the video game, and it appears the creature will also take center stage in "Fallout" season 2. Well, that is to say that The Ghoul and Lucy will run into one, per the trailer. Instead of The Ghoul showcasing his gunplay to stop the creature, he takes off running, which is usually what is the best thing to do in the video game as well. "Fallout" season 2 will drop on Amazon Prime Video on December 17. For more streaming news, head to Newsweek Streaming.
