Drew McIntyre did it. 'The Scottish Psychopath' is now WWE champion after thumping Brock Lesnar with four claymore kicks.

Twitter on its part had fans ranting about Lesnar and raving at Drew for their performances. Starting off with what fans had to say about Lesnar: "Now please never give Brock a title again," tweeted a fan. "Beat you, Brock... deal with it! #WrestleMania #wrestlemania36 #DrewMcintyre," said another.  

Lesnar's loss didn't come as a shock to this particular fan. "Made sense, Brock can spend the next few months looking after his business. Fact: be a while before fans can attend events, deal with it the show must go on..... #NEWCHAMP Vince said years ago he would be @DMcIntyreWWE," he tweeted. "Finally someone who’s not Brock," felt another relieved fan.  And here's that one lone Brock fan who's pretty heartbroken about the result: "So painful to see my icon @BrockLesnar fall to drew McIntyre."

Drew fans and avid watchers of the show, in particular, were happy for the Scottish giant. "I wish we could have had a better main event than less than 5 minutes with nothing but finisher kick-outs. Drew deserved better, but congrats nonetheless, the right man left a champion," tweeted a fan. "There's a *Drew champ in town," opined another. "Very happy for @DMcIntyreWWE, not the moment expected, but still what a moment. and loved the ['Hard Times' reference, reaching out to the camera at the end. Loved it. #Wrestlemania," exclaimed a fan.  

"He deserves a full crowd ovation," "He’ll get one once all the fans are back," "ALL HAIL THE SCOTTISH PSYCHOPATH DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW." These were some of the most tweeted reactions. Then there are those who just said this edition of 'Wrestlemania' was a thorough-bred flop. 

"2 championship changes, each under 3 minutes. Glad I don't pay for this crap," tweeted a fan. A fan seconded this by saying, "Worst match of the entire 2 nights..." and another said: "Very bad matches of wrestle. Mania. It's already fixed. Brock Lesnar can't lose without any defense."

Well, at least we know who's not going to complain about any of this.
