It’s no big secret that WWE has had a little bit of trouble trying to fill John Cena’s spot now that Cena is fully committed to his acting career.
WWE has pushed Roman Reigns pretty hard over the last few years, but the fans haven’t exactly embraced Roman as the top guy.
During an appearance on The Steve Austin Show, Jerry “The King” Lawler shared his thoughts on who he thinks could be the next top guy, and he picked Drew McIntyre.
“[McIntyre] loves the business. He really does and he’s excited to be where he is right now.I think he could be the guy. We all know that they’ve been looking for somebody since John Cena and they tried so hard with Roman Reigns. And, of course, Roman’s over big and he’s probably as good as anybody that they pushed to that extent, but I still think there’s room.
He’s not John Cena. He’s not ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. He’s not a Rock yet. And they’re looking for that type of personality and I really think just in being around him and watching him – I mean, he looks fantastic – I really think he could be the guy.”
McIntyre certainly seems to be receiving a healthy push right now, as he recently won the 2020 Royal Rumble, and he’s set to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36. But only time will tell if he has what it takes to be the top guy in the company.
