Drew McIntyre has pitched a potential future location for WWE’s biggest event of the year, WrestleMania. With WrestleMania 42 set for Las Vegas and WrestleMania 43 heading to Saudi Arabia, the former World Champion has opened up on his home country of Scotland being an ideal next destination.
Recently speaking to SportBible ahead of his WWE Championship match, McIntyre discussed the possibility. “It’s something I’ve been wanting to do [return home with the title], I think I started talking about it in 2019, going into the Royal Rumble in 2020 when I won, that I’m going to win the Rumble, win the title, get an open top bus, parade it around the UK as the only ever British champion.”
McIntyre, who failed to defeat Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1, still has the goal of bringing the title home for WrestleMania.
“I have the chance to get this title, pull off the big one on Saturday. I’ve got to overcome Cody’s politics and influence to make sure I win the big one. Then I’ll bring the title home, then we have ourselves a parade and take it to WrestleMania. We’ve got places we can have WrestleMania. We can have it at Murrayfield, and everyone would travel, not just from in the UK.
Then we get to check out the lovely scenery. I’d love to actually see some of the scenery. I cannot wait to do media on top of Edinburgh Castle or something. Head to some of the football games, a few Rangers games, we’ll finally be back on form after a disastrous start to the season. I’ll be right there, for one WrestleMania.”
McIntyre last wrestled in Scotland at Clash At The Castle 2024, where he lost to Damian Priest. While a WrestleMania in his home country remains a long-term goal, his immediate future is focused on rebounding from his championship loss to Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event. WWE’s next Premium Live Event is Survivor Series on November 29. WWE will return to Scotland in January for the Road to the Royal Rumble tour, with one date scheduled for Glasgow.
