Drew McIntyre has been a constant name among the top guys in WWE for a number of years, and fans believe that he’s finally going to get his moment with his home country fans in Scotland. With this belief, The Scottish Warrior challenged Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship, but ended up getting screwed by a returning CM Punk.
The Best in the World made sure that McIntyre lost his chance of winning the prestigious title, and Drew was obviously unhappy about it. After his heartbreaking loss at the Clash at the Castle PLE, Drew McIntyre made an appearance on RAW, and what he revealed was truly shocking. During his promo on this week’s show, the veteran suddenly said, “Screw this company, I quit.”
It was an unexpected moment for the audience, as nobody saw it coming. But it was also surprising for Triple H, as he was spotted convincing McIntyre after this announcement by the 39-year-old superstar. During his interaction with the 6-foot-5 performer, The Game was desperately trying to stop Drew from leaving the company, but it seemed like McIntyre was true to what he said as he quickly walked away from Hunter.
After McIntyre’s revelation in front of a packed house at WWE RAW, a lot of theories have emerged about the reason behind his decision. But it seems that this move is a result of the setbacks he has faced in recent months. His title loss to Priest at WrestleMania 40 and then Punk’s interference costing him the prestigious title once again are probably two incidents that were too huge for him to handle and eventually led him to quit the Stamford-based promotion.
Triple H’s desperation shows how great Drew McIntyre has been as a heel
Watching The Game trying to convince The Scottish Warrior was a bit shocking for a part of the WWE Universe. But Triple H’s desperation to stop the Monday Night RAW superstar shows how great Drew McIntyre has been as a heel. Ever since joining the dark side, Drew has been on a roll, and his exceptional character work has revolutionized his wrestling career.
Not just his mic work as a heel has been fantastic; in fact, McIntyre has also been incredible inside the ring. His recent feud with Damian Priest and his slow-boiling rivalry with CM Punk have seen him do some of the best work of his career, and that’s why Hunter is probably not ready to let Drew McIntyre quit. But, as the in-ring star did so on this week’s RAW, it remains to be seen what’s next in line for his future with the Triple H-led promotion.
Drew McIntyre could be interrupting CM Punk’s SmackDown appearance
The Scottish Warrior announced that he is quitting WWE during his latest appearance on the red brand. But it’s possible that it is all part of his plot to take revenge from The Second City Saint for costing him the World Heavyweight Championship in Scotland. If that’s the case, Drew McIntyre could be interrupting CM Punk’s SmackDown appearance.
As revealed by Punk during his appearance during the post-event press conference after the most recent PLE, he would most probably be on the blue brand for this week’s episode. As the show is going to be in the veteran’s hometown of Chicago, there’s a good chance that McIntyre shows up on Friday’s show to give CM Punk a taste of his own medicine.
If that ends up being the case during the upcoming edition of SmackDown, it is going to make this rivalry even more personal. Moreover, it’ll also guarantee that Punk vs. Drew will possibly end up being one of the headliner matches on this year’s SummerSlam. If WWE actually books them for a match at The Biggest Party of the Summer, it’ll be interesting to see who ends up being the victorious participant in their high-profile encounter.
