Tyson Fury’s bizarre sing-along at the culmination of Drew McIntyre’s defeat to Roman Reigns, was never supposed to air – according to a new report. 

The Scottish Warrior was unsuccessful as he challenged Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of Saturday’s Clash at Castle in Cardiff. The UK’s first stadium show since SummerSlam 1992, thirty years ago. 

Thanks to a surprise interference from the debuting Solo Sikoa, McIntyre was unable to defeat Reigns, much to the disappointment of the 60,000 fans inside the Principality Stadium. 

Drew’s way of dealing with the loss was a rather awkward surprise sing-along with Tyson Fury, who had been watching the bout at ringside. 

The British boxer entered the ring at the end of the pitch and after congratulating Roman Reigns, he confronted McIntyre, and many thought an altercation was about to go down between the pair. 

Instead, the Gypsy King lead a rendition of American Pie, alongside the former WWE Champion, which left the watching crowd in Wales rather bemused. T

The moment felt like something usually left for a dark segment after the end of the show, rather than a scene you’d show on the live feed and former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. believes a mistake happened that saw the karaoke session make it to screen.

Talking on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, Prince Jr said that the reason it was shown was down to somebody forgetting to cut the feed of the broadcast. 

The end of the match was weird because they forgot to say cut. I know this for a fact. I asked a couple of people. They left the feed running and all of a sudden Drew McIntyre was feeling good, Tyson Fury came out to the ring, and they sang ‘Sweet Caroline’ after a loss. It was so weird.

Tyson’s appearance sparked speculation that we may see another WWE run for the current WBC Champion, but it’s unlikely to be this year. Fury is for one more boxing bout in 2022, with a challenge to Anthony Joshua currently being ironed out.

In the post-event press conference Triple H confirmed that ‘the door was always open’ for a Tyson Fury return to WWE at some point in the future.
