Drew McIntyre has been on a strong run over the last year, from winning the WWE World Title from Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41 only to lose it to Damian Priest moments later to his feud with CM Punk.
Now, McIntyre is looking ahead. The top WWE star is expected to work with Priest, leading to a showdown at WrestleMania 41.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE’s original plans for McIntyre was for him to feud with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. However, if John Cena wins the Undisputed WWE Title from Rhodes at Mania, things could change for McIntyre.
Meltzer wrote, “Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre (McIntyre was moved to Smackdown originally for a title match series with Rhodes, but if Rhodes loses that falls apart as I don’t see them doing Cena vs. McIntyre) and Naomi vs. Jade Cargill were all rumored, seemed likely coming out of Elimination Chamber and pushed hard on television this week.”
In a recent interview, McIntyre teased having some big things in the works after a conversation with The Rock. For more on that, click here.
