Drew McIntyre is having the time of his life as WWE Champion and the face of the company
When Drew McIntyre made his way to SmackDown in 2009, Mr. McMahon dubbed him as a future World Champion. A few years later, he turned into an enhancement talent alongside Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater, with the trio calling themselves The 3MB. McIntyre soon left WWE and improved himself in various promotions. He came back to WWE in 2017, and was promoted from NXT to the main roster a year later.
McIntyre won the 2020 Royal Rumble match to a loud pop, by finally eliminating Roman Reigns. He went on to defeat Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 36 to win his first WWE Championship. McIntyre has won 29 out of 30 matches he has wrestled this year. He hasn't lost a single match, and has registered a draw against Randy Orton on an episode of WWE RAW. McIntyre's win percentage is 96.7, and it seems like he still has a lot to prove in the coming months.

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.
