Social media is not merely about combat; it's about taking the internet, and Drew McIntyre succeeded. Before diving into the fan reactions, let's take a second to appreciate the sheer spectacle of it all. Drew McIntyre didn't just break out of a wrestling match, he broke the internet.

Others just joked for the sake of joking, bringing their own sense of humor to the experience. Whether done with random jokes or overboard reactions, the comments filled up fast with silly remarks. It wasn't analyzing the game so much as it was enjoying the surprise selfie.
The internet, as usual, managed to turn a simple experience into a sitcom:
"Bruh this men is menace. love it," a user @LASHYBILLS hilariously commented.
"this gotta be the fastest viral WWE ever," another user @tylerduran21 hilarioulsy commented.

Drew McIntyre even posted the selfie on his X and IG accounts in the middle of the match!
As Drew McIntyre was midst of a wild Sin City Street Fight, he managed to find time, not to avoid a punch, but to take a selfie and post it on social media. And to completely go all out and drive the internet crazy, he posted:
"Still bored at work lol."
Within minutes, the picture had gone viral, and fans lost it quicker than a steel chair gets brought in during a match. Who would have thought that selfies and suplexes could live in such harmony?
While everyone else struggles with their inbox all day at the office, McIntyre is grappling with Damian Priest and still finds time to post content. It's the sort of multitasking that shouts "employee of the month" if your office is a WWE ring in front of 70,000 raucous fans.
Drew Mclntyre won the match at the end.
For the most part, WrestleMania 41 was not about the move-it was about the material. And no one filled out that task better than McIntyre, who could pause during a Sin City Street Fight, take a selfie, tweet it out as a "Monday blues" caption, and go viral before his match was even finished. While most superstars were more interested in getting away with a victory in the bout, McIntyre just won on social media instantly.
Fans were left wondering if he was going to lay out a finishing move or attach a filter. The bout featured steel chairs, chaos, and great timing of camera angles, but honestly, that selfie body-slammed the internet. As WrestleMania 41 wrapped up, one thing was as clear as day as you could want: in the age of going viral, no wrestling ring is safe from selfie culture. And really? We wouldn't have it otherwise.
