One of the heavyweights in the world of WWE, Drew McIntyre is a staple in and outside the ring. He was recently making the headlines after he was seen fuming while walking out of the venue during the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble match. He was performing under the RAW brand until recently, but after the Rumble incident, it was announced that he had been moved under the SmackDown banner.
The opponent chosen by WWE for Drew McIntyre did not sit well with fans
After
Drew McIntyre was moved from RAW to SmackDown after the Royal Rumble fiasco, fans were excited to see what this change could bring to the table. But one update did not sit too well with them and it looks like the head honchos at WWE are paying attention to that. Rumors say there could be some change to the storyline in the making.
Initial plans for Drew McIntyre stated that he would be facing Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41 after Priest became the one to eliminate him from the ring at Royal Rumble. A mess was made by LA Knight's entry, and things took a turn for the worse, leading McIntyre to get angry. This was the reason he fumed out for the venue during the event. But fans are not keen on a rivalry being formed between these two and are hoping WWE can do better with a wrestler like Drew McIntyre.

This led to some backlash, and that might now become a reason that the WWE backtracks and makes some changes to plans. According to Chris Featherstone, discussions are going on to see what they can do to make it exciting for the fans and the star.
