Drew McIntyre has been one of the biggest names in WWE for years now and he’s achieved success working as one of the company’s top heels. McIntyre’s character has been through his fair share of ups and downs as we’ve seen recently with him dropping the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes.
Recently The Scottish Warrior spoke to Chris Van Vliet about not walking into WrestleMania with the title, and he explained why he thinks all of the twists and turns will eventually lead to a babyface turn.
“And the transitional [champion] thing, if people are saying it right now. I don’t believe that to be the case. I think it’s another part of Drew McIntyre’s story. Personally, it sucks. I’d love to walk into Mania as champion with the title. And whatever might have been supposed to happen would have been very cool. But things happen in the bigger picture, as I’ve been talking about over and over. And as a company, as Mania for two days, we need all these big matches. We need surprises. And this gave us two giant matches. But for Drew McIntyre, you know, screwing over Cody, even though it was in a contract, even though it was justified, and it makes perfect sense to raise the story with Aldis. It makes perfect sense to set up the match with Jacob.
“Now we get this crazy match with Drew McIntyre [and] Jacob Fatu. We get people seeing like, ‘Drew was screwed. But at the same time, kind of deserved it, but did he really deserve it?’ And then Cody and Randy have got their match over there going on right now.
“So I appreciate the fans. If anything doesn’t work out, and I’m sitting there at one point just like, ‘Oh my God, no one cares and the story didn’t make sense and it sucks and I’m left in the lurch,’ then I’ll be the first one to point it out. But that’s not happened so far. And after the stuff I’ve been doing with Jacob, I know McIntyre is right back on track of where we need to be, which I believe inevitably is going to lead to a big babyface run down the line. But I’m not trying to get there any time soon.”
