Backstage details on Drew McIntyre’s future as WWE Champion
According to WrestleTalk, Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman view Drew McIntyre as someone who can be a WWE main-eventer “for years to come”.
In recent years, we have witnessed that Finn Balor, Jinder Mahal and Kofi Kingston have briefly been involved in the main-event picture after winning World Championships, but they moved back to the mid-card after their title reigns ends.
WrestleTalk’s Louis Dangoor is reporting that, unlike those three Superstars, Drew McIntyre is set to remain one of WWE’s top attractions for several years.
“Our sources have confirmed to us that WWE management has been so impressed with Drew in recent weeks, that they see him as a main eventer for years to come. We’ve been told that his title reign will almost definitely not be a one-off like we’ve seen with Finn Balor, Jinder Mahal and Kofi Kingston in recent years, so expect to see him at the top of the card for the foreseeable future.”
The WrestleTalk report added that WWE has been impressed with the work that Drew McIntyre has done with the media over the last few months.
It also mentioned that Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman believe the Scot could be a figurehead of WWE and RAW in the coming years, and the company could even build the entire roster around him.
