WWE is in need of Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has away from WWE since his loss at WrestleMania 39. Reports suggest that he is unhappy with his storyline and current booking. On the other hand, some reports also mentioned his possible injury. There has been various speculation that Drew McIntyre and WWE are not on the same page since WrestleMania 39.
Nonetheless, WWE wants Drew McIntyre to come back, as they need him for an appearance at the Money in the Bank event in London. As a result, WWE started pitching plans regarding McIntyreโs return. However, there has been much ambiguity about his WWE comeback, but a great storyline can drive him back to work.
Since losing the chance to win Guntherโs Intercontinental Championship, fans havenโt gotten a glimpse of him on the main roster. McIntyre was drafted to RAW during the WWE Draft 2023. It is believed that the Scottish Warriorโs return could happen if he and WWE agree on better booking and an emphasis on his storyline.
