On the recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE is grooming the two-time WWE Champion Drew McIntyre to face Universal Champion Roman Reigns down the line. It was also noted that WWE will protecting him heavily until he gets to the Tribal Chief.
“They like him, and he’s being groomed for Roman Reigns,” said Meltzer. “It’s down the line. So, the people who are groomed for Roman Reigns are going to be protected until they get to Roman Reigns.”
Dave Meltzer further reported that Drew McIntyre is still not 100% and he’s working on rehab. He also added that McIntyre will most likely run through Madcap Moss at the Elimination Chamber and will battle Happy Corbin at WrestleMania 38.
“He’s not 100%,” said Meltzer. “He’s going to do TVs, he’s not going to do house shows for now. He’s still working on rehab, it’s not like he’s fixed or anything. But, you know, he is back on TV which, I mean, he’ll do the match with Moss in Saudi Arabia and probably wrestle Corbin at WrestleMania most likely and I’m going to guess that he’ll probably run through them.” (H/T: Ringside News)
