The crowd drowns him out with boos. McIntyre complains about being called a coward and a liar. He’s been the same person the whole time. If you have been following him and are against him, you were never a fan, so he doesn’t care about you. McIntyre gave Jey Uso something he never gave him: McIntyre attacked Jey face-to-face.
