Former WWE official feels Drew McIntyre might get "Wardlow-ed" in AEW
Following a fizzled-out momentum, Drew McIntyre was let go by WWE in 2014 after a seven-year run. The 38-year-old soon became a prime act on the independent scene, and the global juggernaut re-scooped him up in April 2017 for the NXT brand.
The 17-year veteran quickly rose to the top, gaining massive popularity and critical acclaim with his stellar performances.
During a recent interview, veteran referee Jimmy Korderas cited Wardlow as an example to express concern over McIntyre's probable future in AEW.
"I just don’t want him [McIntyre] to get Wardlow-ed if he goes over to AEW. I hate using that term because I think there was a huge missed opportunity with that guy, he was so — I’m not saying that people have tuned on him completely, but he’s nowhere near getting the interest that he should be getting right now. I think they dropped the big ball,” said Korderas.
