Drew McIntyre has become one of the biggest names in WWE over the past couple of years. McIntyre has done well to become the face of RAW for some time and has had two great WWE Championship reigns since 2020. While The Scottish Warrior could get back in contention for the WWE Championship, the creatives could decide to do something different with him.

Vince Russo, who worked for WWE as a head writer in the past, spoke to Dr. Chris Featherstone on SK Wrestling’s Writing With Russo. He wanted to see McIntyre go back to Scotland to prepare for a match against Bobby Lashley.

“Bro, when Drew loses it, let him go back to Scotland. I’m gonna go back to the beginning and let’s see that kind of training. Scotland’s a beautiful country, let’s see that.

Russo’s idea is certainly interesting, but WWE could use the same idea to bring him back for a reign in WWE NXT. WALTER could come out with Imperium and target McIntyre on an episode of RAW, injuring him in the process.

McIntyre could then go on a hiatus and return to NXT to have a rivalry with The Ring General WALTER soon. McIntyre has already expressed his desire to work in NXT UK for some time.

“I’ve said in a few interviews that I bother Triple H every so often to let me get back to NXT UK and do something with him (Walter) because I came up in UK wrestling when there was no UK wrestling scene. I used to travel 12 hours just to learn to wrestle.”

Since McIntyre himself is interested in facing WALTER, the storyline could take off really well. WWE could end up building a great rivalry around this and possibly boost the ratings of NXT.
