Drew McIntyre could be the most underrated WWE star, according to former wrestling writer

Former WWE writer and Hollywood personality Freddie Prinze Jr. recently spoke about Drew McIntyre's value in the company. He is a three-time World Champion and a prominent face of the global juggernaut.

McIntyre recently competed in a brutal match at Bad Blood against CM Punk. The two were locked inside Hell in a Cell. Both stars put up a brave fight, but Punk edged out The Scottish Warrior in the barbaric showdown.

On a recent episode of Wrestling with Freddie, the former writer hailed McIntyre as the most underrated star on the roster. He claimed the Scotsman never got the props for carrying the company during the pandemic. Prinze Jr. also pointed out that the 39-year-old's portrayal of a vicious heel ready to go to any lengths made for compelling TV.

“Since the pandemic, I think he may be the most underrated wrestler on the WWE roster. I don’t think he’s ever gotten the props he deserved for being a COVID champion, which in hindsight is a much trickier and more complicated thing than I think anyone realized at the time." Prinze Jr. continued, "His ability to turn that character into this selfish heel that is willing to permanently injure someone, like he turned into such an a*****e. And he’s been so good on the mic, better than he’s ever been." (H/T: PWMania)
