Drew McIntyre teases character change for former WWE Champion

Modified Jan 31, 2020 15:51 GMT

The 2020 Royal Rumble winner Drew McIntyre recently appeared on WWE's The Bump and discussed a bunch of topics in regards to his career. McIntyre opened up on his stint with "3 Man Band", and had nothing but praise for Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal.
McIntyre dubbed Slater as one of the most entertaining Superstars in WWE. He further stated that Mahal is the most driven person he's ever known in his life, and said that he'll be a whole new person when he returns.
Jinder didn't necessarily start off on the best foot outside of the company, so he wasn't so sure what he wanted to do. He wasn't training and wasn't motivated on what he wanted to do. One day, it all changed, and he became the most driven person I've ever known in my entire life... You're going to see a whole new Jinder soon.

Back in 2012, McIntyre and Mahal interfered in a match between Slater and Brodus Clay by attacking the latter, and thus the 3MB was formed. The trio didn't do much and was mostly relegated to WWE's lower-card. McIntyre was released from WWE in June 2014. Three years later, Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton to win his first and only WWE Championship.

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.
