Drew McIntyre is the new WWE champion - and has set his sights on facing Chris Sutton next!

The Rangers-loving Scot became the first ever British WWE champion with an emphatic victory over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 on Sunday.

The 'Scottish Psychopath' - as he is known in the wrestling world - hit Lesnar with three Claymore Kicks to win the main event in less than five minutes.

Before his history-making triumph, McIntyre, a boyhood Rangers fan, exchanged barbs with Sutton on Twitter.

And speaking to talkSPORT on Monday morning, the newly-crowned WWE king announced he was coming for the Celtic legend...

"When it gets backs to normal, the next thing I want to do is fight Chris Sutton," he declared, before asking Sports Breakfast co-host and Rangers icon Ally McCoist to help organise it.

“You set it up. Finally, when everything gets back to normal and I can get back to the UK and parade about with the belt, the last thing I want to do is have the match with Sutton.

"You’d be in my corner.”

McIntyre also revealed he has heavyweight world boxing champion Tyson Fury in his sights.

Before beating Deontay Wilder in their rematch fight in February, Fury had a short spell with WWE as he secured an in-ring debut victory over Braun Strowman last October.

McIntyre added: “I know Tyson Fury is on the show today, as well. I need to bring up Fury because he was talking trash about me, so I know he’s coming on the show.

“Tell him ‘I saw what you said about me.’ He didn’t care who won the match [between Lesnar and I], he thought I was going to win and thinks he can smash me.

“Just let him know ‘Fury I’ve won the championship, now I’m paying attention to you’. After I beat Sutton, I’m coming for Fury.”
