4 Indications that Triple H has given up on Drew McIntyre 

Drew McIntyre was notably absent from the recent episode of Monday Night RAW after suffering a brutal loss to CM Punk at Bad Blood 2024. The match turned into a literal bloodbath for both competitors, but The Best in the World gained a slight edge, leading to his victory.

However, some feel that the recent booking decisions regarding The Scottish Warrior suggest that the Chief Content Officer may have given up on McIntyre, despite his villainous turn gaining significant popularity.

#4. Drew McIntyre is not featured in the poster for RAW Netflix

WWE RAW will be moving to Netflix at the beginning of 2025, and the official poster for RAW on Netflix has already been revealed. However, Drew McIntyre's absence from the poster has surprised many fans. Moving to Netflix is undoubtedly one of the biggest transitions in the history of the Stamford-based promotion, making this poster an important thing to consider.

Drew McIntyre has been at his peak as a heel star over the past few months, and his exclusion from the poster may be a sign that Triple H has possibly given up on him.

#3. Back-to-back losses at the hands of CM Punk

The rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has seen three high-stakes matches in recent months. The initial match at SummerSlam 2024 was the only occasion where Drew scored a victory, while CM Punk secured wins at both Bash in Berlin and Bad Blood. These consecutive losses for McIntyre are yet another sign that Triple H may be giving up on him.

Even in a dark match on SmackDown last month, where Drew faced Jey Uso, The YEET Master came out on top. These back-to-back defeats for the 39-year-old star are certainly noteworthy and raise concerns about Drew's future in WWE in the minds of many fans.

#2. Constantly screwed out of title matches

Not only has Drew McIntyre suffered back-to-back losses to CM Punk, but he has also been consistently screwed out of title matches since his heel turn. Most notably, he was distracted in title matches due to Punk's interference. He even suffered a loss in a world title match in front of his home crowd at the Clash at the Castle Scotland Premium Live Event.

All of this has seemingly completely derailed McIntyre’s momentum, and now fans may perceive him as a weak challenger whenever he contends for a championship in the future. This seems to be yet another indication that Triple H may be giving up on the Scottish star.

#1. No long-term direction for his character

After Drew McIntyre's feud with CM Punk seemingly ended, it appears that The Scottish Warrior’s current character may lack long-term direction. As of now, Drew McIntyre is expected to take a brief break. However, when he returns, Triple H may have very few options left for him, which is a major concern for the 39-year-old star.

WWE has already kept him out of the world title picture, making it awkward if he receives another shot at the championship.

With his feud with The Best in the World having seemingly reached its conclusion, Drew’s limited options for long-term storylines could be another indication that Triple H is giving up on him. The WWE Universe will have to wait and see how WWE books The Scottish Warrior upon his return after his break following Bad Blood 2024 to get a clear idea of what lies next for the star.
