Drew McIntyre's Blunt PSA Warns WrestleMania 41 Fans: Wear Deodorant and Show Respect
Drew McIntyre Calls Out WrestleMania 41 Fans for Hygiene—and Manners
WrestleMania 41 is all about sold-out crowds and in-your-face energy, but Drew McIntyre had a very different message ahead of this year’s main event in Las Vegas. Forget trash talk about opponents. McIntyre, never one to tiptoe around a sensitive subject, took it straight to social media and told fans: show up clean—and don’t ruin it for everybody else.
Leading up to his much-anticipated Sin City Street Fight against Damian Priest at Allegiant Stadium, McIntyre delivered a PSA that got right to the point. He singled out two things every fan needed to bring: deodorant and respect. In packed venues where personal space is already a luxury, he made it crystal clear—bad body odor doesn’t belong at “the Grandest Stage of Them All.” His advice wasn’t subtle, either. With a warning to avoid any behavior that might "f*ck it up for everyone," McIntyre’s message hit the nerve of every wrestling fan who’s been stuck in a stuffy seat next to someone less than fresh.
His PSA didn’t just float out into the void, though. The post sparked a wildfire of comments and reactions across platforms, both from amused followers and grateful attendees who know the struggle of packed, noisy crowds. And McIntyre, leaning into the buzz, even autographed a stick of Old Spice deodorant for a fan—a moment that instantly went viral, with memes and jokes echoing through wrestling communities all weekend.
McIntyre’s Tough-Love Approach Echoes in and Out of the Ring
If you’ve watched Drew McIntyre over the last few years, you know he’s not shy about setting boundaries—whether he’s delivering a Claymore in the ring or setting the standard for crowd conduct. Fans have seen him speak up before about what makes wrestling events special, and this latest PSA fits his reputation: zero tolerance for anything that spoils the experience.
His call to action wasn’t just about keeping things civil; it was about protecting the vibe of live wrestling, a spectacle known for its wild, energetic fans. McIntyre has talked in plenty of interviews about what wrestling crowds bring to the table, and how much the athletes feed off that energy. A few rowdy outliers or a sea of sweaty bodies can throw the whole atmosphere.
This attention to fan experience caught the eye of the WWE itself, with backstage staff and even some performers echoing his hygiene rec. In Las Vegas, where April’s heat isn’t forgiving and Allegiant Stadium had more than its share of jam-packed aisles, it made a lot of sense. Several fans even shared their own stories online—recalling events where crowd manners (or lack thereof) were the talk of the night, sometimes for all the wrong reasons.
By going public with his plea, McIntyre’s also made himself a rare example of an athlete who looks past the pyrotechnics and titles to focus on the people in the seats. There’s nothing complicated about the advice, but sometimes it takes a superstar to remind folks: bring deodorant, bring respect, and make sure everyone leaves the show with good memories, not just the smell of regret.
