In a recent interview with the Getting Over: Wrestling Podcast, WWE RAW superstar Drew McIntyre discussed several topics and revealed that his face paint at WWE Fastlane for his match against Sheamus was a last-minute addition, with the idea coming from him personally.

“It was mine. About 4 or 5pm and I didn’t get it approved until 7pm, once we were already on the air. Corey Graves and Seth Rollins were talking and I made a comment to Seth about his ‘drip’ and I thought to myself, I’m not the best-dressed guy in the, just wearing shorts and a t-shirt 90% of the time, or a kilt the rest, I could wear face paint, that makes sense.

It’s third match, it’s the war paint, if I was ever going to do the Braveheart facepaint, this was the time to do it, because it was literally going to be a war. I tried to get it approved, couldn’t get word back from anyone, I went straight to Vince himself around 7pm, explained to him what I was thinking and he approved it. I ran to make-up to get myself together to tie my boots and get my face painted, I put on the last few strokes myself and headed to the ring, it was very last minute.”
