The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre has been away from WWE programming since his loss at WrestleMania 39. The reasons for his hiatus have been Drew’s non-satisfactory storyline and his character’s ambiguity, which lacked stability. But still, he has been active as a representative member of the WWE. McIntyre has marked his appearance as the Global Brand Ambassador for the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin.
The breaking news of Drew’s presence at the Special Olympics 2023 was officially announced by WWE. Drew showed his excitement by showing up for the world’s largest sports event in Berlin. As the event already started on June 17, McIntyre marked his appearance in Berlin, and his picture was shared by the WWE Germany’s Twitter account. McIntyre has joined hands with Special Olympics since 2021 as a Global Brand Ambassador.
The picture posted by the WWE Germany team showed Drew McIntyre pointing backwards at the Olympiastadion. The stadium was filled with people who showed up for the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics. The Scottish Warrior showed off his well-maintained physique to the WWE Universe when his pose outshone his stronger biceps. Drew was spotted wearing his own merchandise, a “Medieval Metal” T-shirt, and a brand ambassador’s identity card.
Drew’s absence in WWE has been since he lost the chance to win the Intercontinental Championship from Gunther. Recent reports suggest that WWE is in need of McIntyre for their Money in the Bank event in London. His return is also expected right before the spectacle on SmackDown in London. There is also the possibility that the former WWE Champion can surprise fans in London by directly appearing at the event.
Why is Drew McIntyre the Global Brand Ambassador for Special Olympics?

McIntyre won the Royal Rumble and made himself one of the most dominant stars in WWE. After winning the Rumble, he headlined WrestleMania 36’s night two and won the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar. As a result, the Scottish Warrior emerged as a fan favorite superstar among the crowd, who carried the company on his back.
His popularity continued until 2021 as he was the WWE Champion for quite some time. This was a crucial time for WWE, as it was one of the few companies that actively operated during the pandemic. As a result, WWE took advantage of the situation and insisted on collaborating with other organizations.
Being the face of the company in that critical period, Drew McIntyre was appointed to be the representative of those organizations. His high stakes lent him several opportunities to be on various projects, with one of which was the Special Olympics World Games.
