Drew McIntyre made his way to the main roster in 2018, and many believed that it was only a matter of time before he turned into a main event player and competed for the top title. It took 2 long years for that to happen, but McIntyre finally got his moment in the spotlight earlier this year. Vince McMahon had dubbed McIntyre as a future World Champion, during his arrival on SmackDown, back in 2009. Things went wrong though, and he turned into an enhancement talent in a matter of years.
McIntyre left WWE in 2014 and worked hard to improve himself. At the 2020 Royal Rumble, McIntyre eliminated Brock Lesnar, who had been wreaking havoc in the match before The Scottish Psychopath entered the ring. This was followed by McIntyre winning the whole thing. He chose to face Lesnar at 'Mania and went on to defeat The Beast to win his first-ever WWE title. At just 34, McIntyre still has a lot left in the tank and could easily be featured as one of the top stars in the company for years to come.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
