What is WWE Doing WIth Drew McIntyre?

 

Another hugely underrated guy is Drew McIntyre! 

I’m thinking to myself after filming my Tik Tok on the most underrated wrestlers in the WWE today. I didn’t include Drew on the list because I wanted to limit it to 5 (Well 7, counting the New Day together) and because I kind of forgot about the guy. He went from carrying the company on his broad, Scottish shoulders to mixing it up with Happy Corbin without a clear direction before Wrestlemania. 

Drew McIntyre has proved it that he can hang in the main event. He’s finally lived up to the potential that the WWE saw in him 13 years ago. However, injuries and poor booking decisions have derailed that potential. Drew has the look, size and international appeal to be a main event wrestler, instead of toiling away in the midcard with Baron Corbin, Jinder Mahal and Sheamus. 

At Wrestlemania, we’re getting Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns AGAIN! For both Titles too. WWE is lacking new, fresh main event talent. I think Drew fits that. Especially because he was at hottest when he wasn’t even in front of people. He gets the reactions that you could want to. I continue to be confused as to why WWE refuses to push new main event faces like Drew. 

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of fantasy booking and love to do it on my free time as a thought exercise. The potential of Drew McIntyre in the main event makes my fantasy booking mind salivate. I think the first step to rehabbing him is putting him in a long-term storyline with another wrestler placed similarly on the card. I think turning Shinsuke Nakamura heel and have him act like wrestling’s popstar would be a good idea. They’re both capable of having great matches and both can bring the intensity for a long term feud. At the end of the feud, the winner takes on Roman Reigns. Drew beats Roman and finally wins back the Title. Now, it’s not easy as that obviously. You do need to develop his character and also get rid of that ridiculous sword. 

I think Drew should be the one to finally beat Roman Reigns. It seems like an insurmountable mountain to climb, but Drew is one of the only credible wrestlers who could do it. He’s got the size, power, accolades and charisma to finally take down Roman Reigns. Afterall, Brock’s not going to appear on TV every week. I’m hoping that WWE finally starts Drew properly again. They’ve done it before and it worked. Let’s see it happen. 

Take care, and appreciate you reading. Make sure to check out the social channels! I’m curious as to who you would use better if you were the WWE. I’ve made my 8 choices clear. I’d love to see some discourse on this.

Cheers!
